[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 360411, member: 1169"] It sounds very realistic. We were lucky with Eeyore. He had been diagnosed Conduct Disorder at 5 years old. They were recommending we disrupt the adoption. We tried this therapy, that intervention and those medications for years. I kept insisting that this child wasn't mean - he was frightened and confused and what we were doing wasn't working. They just kept telling me there was little hope for him so they didn't expect anything to really work. Then our state DHS funded a study for young children who had multiple psychiatric diagnosis including one of the severe ones but had not made progress on at least 2 medications and treatment. They discovered that Eeyore was Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. What a difference it made in how people treated him. No longer did teachers and tdocs attempt to treat him as a boy who was willfully misbehaving, but rather a child who had significant delays in the skills he needed. If wm is on the spectrum, that could explain alot about his relative lack of progress. The therapies are different. [/QUOTE]
