[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 212227, member: 5663"] I think my daughter is in the same boat. I think she actually has something called Pathological Demand Avoidance (not technically regcognized in the US yet), in the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) family. She was diagnosed with ODD at age 3 but for the past year we could tell there is something still not right. She hasn't been diagnosed, but fits the list perfectly for PDA. One of the differences is that kids with that are usually almost normal socially, which is probably why Autism never came up before. My daughter's issues related to this are: 1. Obsessed with Mermaids & Princesses (has many notebooks of drawings of mermaids) 2. Talks to self while playing, I'm assuming way more than neurotypical kids 3. Speech delay 4. Sensory seeker 5. Doesn't care about punishment or reward 6. Once you ask her to do a task, and she doesn't want and you push she goes into a state where it's impossible to break through her emotional state (crying or tantrum) I'm sure there are plenty of other things, but this is all I can think of for the moment. She plays pretty well with other kids, but if there is a child who is a troublemaker, she will play right along with the trouble. If a kid is good, she'll listen to the kid. Peer pressure seems to affect her. But, I think that the kids at her school know that she's not quite normal because she still hasn't been invited to any playdates (well, as far as I know, my husband is a SAHD and is horrible at talking to other parents, I need to work on getting some set up). As for when she gets frustrated, she usually gives up. Homework has been a challenge and I can see when she has had enough and don't push her or it's a huge fight. I would rather come back to it later. She's not that bad at transitions at all, but I've learned how to give her little warnings so it's easier. Now if husband demands something of her and she doesn't do it, he gets upset and then she gets more upset and they end up fighting about it. It p*sses me off because I keep telling him he can't do that. I usually end up interviening and then translating what husband is saying so daughter can understand better. [/QUOTE]
