[QUOTE="mychica, post: 308165, member: 8115"] Hi Everyone, I am new here. My son was orignially diagnosed with PDDNOS at 18 months. He has done so well and is so ahead cognitively. He is now 5 1/2 years old and in kindergarten and was reclassified with ADHD. Socially, he has so many challenges with personal space, inappropriate talking, inability to stay on topic, always wanting to be over active with friends - running in circles, jumping around, etc. Kids are starting to avoid him and loose patience with hiim and not want him around. He is doing very well in school and the teachers say they do not see alot of this behavior and what they do see is managable with minimal redirection. He will not allow us to redirect him socially, no matter if it is after school, weekends, mornings, etc. He gets wild and refuses to listen to directions even though we go through the plan, etc. We have to "break him" down and it usually results to tears and nearly dragging him out of the house before he calms himself alittle but it still is not the behavior we would expect of him. We recently started a low dose of medication which the doctor said would be perfect after school and on weekends in social situations. It is not helping at all socially and only making things worse. Now we are thinking it is behavioral but is us not having the control to teach him? We don't know what to do and who can help us teach him appropriate social ques that will last during play dates. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, [/QUOTE]
