[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 59853, member: 1991"] When I was first told about it I too thought it was spelled Asberger's, but it's got a "p", not a "b", it's Asperger's Syndrome. You'll get more hits if you've got the spelling right (as I found out, way back when). It's one form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) and there are a lot of good references. There is a good Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire (not intended as a diagnostic, but still useful) on [url="http://www.childbrain.com."]http://www.childbrain.com.[/url] Online, if you see a link that also mentions Tony Attwood, chances are it will be helpful, positive and informative. But it could be a number of possible issues, not just Asperger's. Someone suggested mood disorder - always worth considering. But as you said, HOW do you consider it when she refuses to talk to therapists? Or would she be more cooperative with an assessment? Marg [/QUOTE]
