[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 63449"] I have asked at school, at psychiatrist, at therapist, at pediatrician about a social skills group/class. Nobody seems to know what I am talking about. Makes me wonder if I am not using the correct language. difficult child has extraordinary speaking skills. He could carry on a conversation with a stranger, better with adults. He can talk many adults under the table on sports, and other topics he knows so much about. He watches ESPN most of the time. He is like a sponge, sucking up everything that is said and rarely forgets it. easy child calls him to ask him about certain people. Makes sense on his testing last year that auditory skills were so high. He just has this outstanding memory, and he uses that information and talks to complete strangers about so many things. He has excellent eye contact, no development delays of any kind. He can read body language. I only have to give him a look and he knows exactly what I mean. Then again, he has anger issues and he can blow up in a split second and be this kid you just don't know. He has been so much better with that though. Does tend to correct people a lot, and that gets so annoying. Trying so hard to tell him just to let people be right, or think they are right. Whatever. Because when he corrects everyone he comes accross like he is putting them down and he knows everything. Maybe I am not clear on Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), but I was under the impression there were certain development/speach delays. He actually started talking in sentences at 15 months...and hasn't stopped. He did have some pretty traumatic experiences around age 2. That is exactly when all this anger/anxiety started showing. I often wonder if those experiences are what triggered all his issues. Sensitivity to noise also from an early age. Much better now. Was a time he would not enter a fast food restaurant because of the buzzer on the french fry machine. He heard echoes when people talked, but taking his tonsils out seemed to have fixed that. Much better, still some sensitivity where he covers his ears and doesn't even know he does it. [/QUOTE]
