[QUOTE="SRL, post: 201196, member: 701"] 3-5 is a really hard age for many children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), even if it's mild. Sometimes they just wake up on the wrong side of the bed for no reason and often it takes very little for their mood to go bad. First off, is he getting speech and occupational therapy as well as early intervention preschool? Those are pretty much standards for kids with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and can go a long way in helping them progress in areas of struggle. Go up to the top of this board and read through the discussion on The Explosive Child. You're really going to need to develop a bag of tricks for dealing with this. Sometimes something very simple like a tic tac can be enough of a distraction to get a glowering kid out of the house and into the car. Don't worry about the self help skills. Every boy comes to a time when they become too embarrased to be dressed by their mother. If getting him dressed in the morning is a problem, let him wear clean clothes to bed as pj's. Also, pick up a copy of the book The Our of Sync Child because it's not uncommon for kids of this age who have sensory issues to really start resisting things that are troubling them. We had smooth sailing with clothes until this age and then all you know what broke loose. Videotape the real life behavior so the evaluator can see what you're really dealing with. [/QUOTE]
