[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 56996, member: 3211"] Ah yes. difficult child really [b][i]needs[/i][/b] to finish whatever he is saying when he is saying it - a real sort of physical need - I understand what you're saying. It funny, but he also makes noises I have described as "explosions" whenever there is a lull in conversation or if he is alone in his room, etc. We abandoned trying to curtail that long, long ago. I have just suggested to him that he may want to attempt not to do that in the bathroom at school because he has been talked to about it by peers and staff. I guess the main issue for me is that he just always has to have a flippant comment - no matter who he is talking to and what the situation is. When his karate Master takes him aside to talk to him (usually it's an encouraging coversation), I hold my breath until they are done talking. He just does not realize - or take into account - the consequences of his words and tone of voice. Once in a great while - and this is just recent - he will say "I was going to say something just now, but I know it wasn't appropriate, so I won't". Even then, I find it funny that he feels the need to announce that he made a decision not to say something. It's like he really is an "open book". His new psychiatrist has also mentioned Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in the last month or so. Guess we're looking at a whole bunch of new things to research. [/QUOTE]
