[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 48474, member: 1550"] Has he seen a NeuroPsycologist and is he getting treatment for his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? If not, I doubt an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) can help him. The Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) issues are probably frustrating him to no end and they don't know how to help him at RTCs--that's for behavioral, not neurological disorders. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids don't respond to normal behavioral methods either. Some respond well to antipsychotics--my son is better off medications. Trust me, he used to rage a lot; he doesn't have behavioral issues now. I would look into this before considering Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for such a young kid who is on the autism spectrum. My kid was diagnosed bipolar too. He's not. Often autism spectrum mimics bipolar and can fool even a child Psychiatrist. I'd get a fresh evluation and find out what sort of autism interventions can help him. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified kids don't really "get it" (socially or life-wise) and from experience and in my opinion I don't think an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) will attempt to help him in the way he needs it. If he has bipolar too, and REALLY has it, he should be on a mood stabilizer... JMO [/QUOTE]
