[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 164708, member: 45"] I agree with both of you. He doesn't understand, but he is definitely going through puberty and has the hormones of a 12-yr-old. At least 4 psychiatrists/psychologists have said Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is a possibility, although none will say for sure. So getting him treatment for autism has been hard. His current counselor treats him as if he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), although she's not an expert. Her company works through the schools and at the schools, so she deals with kids with all sorts of issues including disorders, family issues, etc. I also think I should stop talking to her about it. The counselor wanted me to find out if it was over the clothes or under, so I had to talk one more time. She may be reformulating, or just talking more clearly, I really can't be sure. She seemed truthful and matter-of-fact, she didn't seem like she was trying to think through what to say, but I'm not an expert. I'm not concerned about her telling someone else. In fact I've told her that she doesn't need to feel like she can't talk to anyone about it or that it's a big secret. I know from experience that's one of the worst possible things I could do to her. If the counselor reports it, we are going to report it together. I will be very open with them if it happens, but husband may be another story, and things may be worse (with him) if it was me that did the reporting. I haven't repeatedly interviewed her and not him... I've talked to him about it over and over but he refuses to admit it so it's hard to really get anywhere. We have put a lot of pressure on him to tell the truth but nothing has worked. I've talked to her three times about the details of what happened. They are both going to talk to the counselor, so I'm she is getting outside help. Things were going so good with difficult child this year. His best year ever, no suspensions from school, all As. He's controlling his temper so much better. While he's not making friends, he is getting along with his brother's friends very well. We were all very optimistic. Then everything comes crashing down again, and this problem is worse than anything before. [/QUOTE]
