[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 381005, member: 1550"] Ok. I think this child's problems are different though than those who are just defiant. For the most part, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids have a lot of trouble communicating and don't do it well or often, even when spoken to. They can't. This is why therapists are often useless for them. Aspergers is not a behavior disorder, although the frustration can lead to some. Many also have issues with certain foods. My son is seventeen and will still vomit (not on purpose) if he is forced to try something he finds repulsive. I can not feed him broccoli, for example. He starts to gag even before he puts it in his mouth. Same with cheese cake. Anything green or gooey, and he starts to gag. With Aspergers, there's a fine line between "jerk" and Aspergers. It is not the same as the other disorders and the kids often look like they are deliberately being defiant when it's either unintentional or because t hey are frustrated with a world they just do not understand. The thing is, at times they can seem so "normal" that it is beyond frustrating when they don't respond the way they should, but it's part of the disorder. JMO and I"ll shut up now. [/QUOTE]
