[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 32006, member: 1550"] Is this child getting any interventions for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? My son has that and everything your child is doing could be related to his autistic spectrum disorder. I wouldn't be so sure he's being defiant just to drive you all nuts, although I know it seems that way at times! What kind of professional does he see for the autism? medications don't help autism. They can deal with some symptoms, but the kids really need a lot of early interventions. My son had tons of them before he was even a year old! He's doing great now, but he was a handful at your son's age. You don't want to disregard this part of his diagnosis. A psycologist doesn't generally know what to do for any form of autism. I recommend a neuropsychologist to evaluate him and point you in the right direction. You can find them at children's and university hospitals. My son had the same laundry list of diagnosis. that yours does now, but, when everything was dissected and stripped away, his big problem was the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He doesn't HAVE bipolar, and has no meltdowns at all these days, although he did as a toddler. He was very frustrated! Good luck (I'm in a small town--we had to travel for help). [/QUOTE]
