[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 19733, member: 84"] Having a grown child with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) I've got to say, knowing isn't doing. T knows what to do. He's even trained for a good paying job in computers. But [b] can[/b] he do it? Now that's altogether something else. I think it's a two edged sword. My T can do exactly as I expect him to do most of the time. If I'm there to supervise him. If I'm not there, he does nothing. Example: He wants to go back to work at Walmart. He's been saying that for 3 wks. husband had to drag him out there the other day to fill out the application. You can do all the teaching and training. All of the support systems can be there. But in the end it all depends on whether they are able to follow thru. They simply don't think the way we do. [/QUOTE]
