[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 492864"] You say Brownie has "food issues still and worries about getting fat". That sounds like an obsession similar to my difficult child 1. As for the "sensitive and perceptive" meaning he isn't on the spectrum, my difficult child 2 is very mature, responsible, academically gifted, sociable (prefers adults), is very sensitive and perceptive of other's feelings. He has been diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified because he DOES have literal interpretations of words & phrases, stuck on SOME routines, immature responses to stress and imperfection, concrete black-and-white thinker, and obsessive. His development was completely on track so there were NO real indicators when he was younger. I agree with MWM. It sounds like you might need a thorough assessment by a neuropsychologist. Handling things the wrong way because of an incorrect diagnosis can actually cause more harm than good. Many medications for other diagnosis's can actually cause problems for the person if they don't really have that diagnosis. I get nervous so don't take one person's word for it. I have gotten 2nd & 3rd opinions just to be sure. [/QUOTE]
