[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 198358, member: 1991"] Valerie, it's good that easy child has come around. It does take time sometimes, often takes longer to accept problems like this in the ones you love the most. By all means let easy child loose on the idea. In the meantime, we'll do the same at this end, see what we can all come up with. My suggestion for us to try it, though - while it's not available as software, YET, you can still run it past your Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids by talking about how it would work and using a computer concept as a way to get the concept into their heads. difficult child 3 uses computer concepts to describe himself all the time. For example, if he is talking too much and we're not ready to listen, we sometimes say, "pause". Sometimes we even mime pointing a TV remote at him and pressing a button as we say this. I just can't think of any more examples right now, wouldn't you know it! We're just about to go out for the day, only checked in for a minute. So talk to your Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (or similar) kids about the concept of "respect points" for different status people, and to look at life and social interactions as a computer game - see what they think.
