[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 430605, member: 1550"] Actually, I find that with time my son, who was originally diagnosed Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and is now autism spectrum disorder high functioning, has gotten MUCH better. As a toddler, he liked to rock (hard) into his door. It helped him go to sleep. While it soothed him, it was hard on the door. Three doors, to be exact. Now he is aware when he is doing an inappropriate sensory thing and it happens much less often. I find that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, however, must have something to do ALL THE TIME, even if it's the dreaded videogames, or they can't resist touching anything around (and sometimes breaking it, usually not on purpose). The few times my son is forced to sit and try to act interested in a family discussion, he taps his foot, picks at his clothes and can not sit still at all. But he is MUCH better. ..he could not have sat at all when, say, he was ten. Now he can at least stay seated. Interestingly, when he took the TOVA test to see if he also has ADHD, he passed the TOVA with flying colors, so the hyperness is not due to ADHD. [/QUOTE]
