[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 117673, member: 1550"] Sounds like a typical kid with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) to me. If you exchanged the names, he could be MY child. This is how Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids tend to be. I would take away all the other diagnoses, which are a part of Aspergers, and focus on getting help for that. We've managed to bribe my son out of the house and into activities. He doesn't really want to be away from his "shows" or his "games" but he also does like to earn "points" that can lead to "rewards." Yes, he gets more enthusiastic about points on a board than any of my kids did as toddlers. Many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are very much into collecting points and can be motivated that way. Is he getting any interventions for Aspergers? Any help in school? Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids don't like change, food varieties, certain fabrics, and are creatures of habit or they get VERY nervous. A friend of mine (a genuis, I swear) has tried "points" to get her son to try new food, so he is now eating a bigger variety.
