[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 382432, member: 1991"] They wouldn't have tested him for face blindness. I doubt it. It's less important especially at the initial stage. People can have face blindness for all sorts of reasons, but you do get it to a degree, to a greater extent in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). With the apparent disrespect thing, the ONLY way to handle it with kids like this is for you to behave towards him exactly as you want him to behave towards you. Other people will look at you like you've gone nuts, when you don't shout at your child but instead say "please" and "thank you" to him even if they feel he "doesn't deserve it". The thing is, we are the adults, we need to be big enough to start the process off. Being petulant and saying, "I won't be polite to you until you're polite to me" only teaches them to be petulant in return. And THEY are the kids, not us. We use Explosive Child a lot and keep the number of things being worked on, to about three or four, max. Not too much at once or it can all be too much to handle. I looked on Google for "face blindness" and "test" and found a lot of links. I think this one is good - [url]http://www.faceblind.org/facetests/index.php[/url] If it doesn't pan out, Google what I did and explore. Marg [/QUOTE]
