[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 13363, member: 1722"] Hello and welcome. I'm sorry you had to find your way here. Our children have a way of bringing us to our knees. Has your son been evaluated and diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? If not, that's where I would start. Many childhood disorders have overlapping symptoms so it helps to keep an open mind. One possible disorder is NonVerbalLearningDisorder (NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)) which can look a lot like Aspergers: We aren't doctors here and can't diagnose, we're parents that have walked along the same path of parenting a challenging child. I would advise you to set up a multidisciplinary evaluation at a local children's or university hospital if you aren't confident is his current diagnosis. The other thing is to request an evaluation from the school, send it certified mail. Your son may need an IEP and educational supports. And lastly, pick up a copy of The Explosive Child by Ross Greene, it's been a lifesaver at helping me figure out how to parent my child. [/QUOTE]
