[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 268361, member: 1550"] My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I respectfully disagree with the need to add ODD to the diagnosis. Her behavior is sadly common with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids and is directly related to the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Since Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids have trouble communicating and are sensitive to stimuli and change, they CAN act out (some are mellow, but many can get quite aggressive when out of their comfort zone). My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and used to get aggressive until he learned how to communicate better and to socialize (he is still very shy, but he does have a group of friends who are probably mostly Aspies :happy:). Does she have a para in school? What sort of interventions is she getting? Can she speak well? What things set her off? It's common for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids to freak when somebody tries to tell them to stop doing one thing and change to another (transitioning) or when somebody tries to stop them from doing an obsessive movement. Also, the kids often tend to speak out loud (my son does that even at his room at home.) I asked him why he talks to himself and he said, "There's nobody else to talk to so I talk to me" :happy:. Then he said, "I understand better if I say it out loud." THAT I think is the bottom line. He knows better than to speak out loud in school, but my son is quite high functioning (even so, he is quirky). Trying to discipline a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) child as if he didn't have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) won't work. The child will freak out and may get frightened and violent. Do those who deal with him at school understand autism? Have you and your hub researched the disorder a lot yourself? It's very helpful to know all you can. Knowledge is power, especially when dealing with the school and when choosing the professionals who will work with your child. You can't expect this child to respond to "normal" disciplanary tactics. Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
