[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 201094, member: 1550"] I am not sure that a behavioralist is the type of professional who can best help this particular type of child. I'm wondering if he is getting any interventions for the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. My son has it. He has really improved, but he really got A LOT of help. The school district should be able to enroll him in early intervention. If he says "ain't I cute?" I am wondering if he is echoing something he maybe heard on television (a common thing for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to do). Does he have conversations or does he just sort of repeat what he hears? Self-help skills can be a real challenge for kids with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. And the kids can get very frustrated and act out, yet they are, for the most part, bright kids. Their behavior can mimic both ADHD and bipolar, but be careful...interventions are the first line of treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), not necessarily medications, although some need medication. I would call the school district and get him enrolled in some interventions. I think he sounds VERY Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified--at least in comparison with my son. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
