[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 369890, member: 1550"] I'll pass along only what I know. I do have a son with Aspergers. AFTER working out some issues the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) caused, and ONLY after that, he is motivated highly by rewards. But he wasn't before the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) was addressed and it did not make him NOT have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). You can't. That isn't a learned behavior. It's a difference in the brain's wiring. Secndly, my sister is an aide in a big school district (one said to be very good) in Illinois and she works with kids who are on the spectrum. The teacher/Special Education team insists on reward/punishment systems for all the children. She reports to me that this is ineffective for every single child in her class, however they don't tell that to the parents because the more kids they have, the more funding they get. I think with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids, you need a doctor (orpsychologist) who is very knowledgeable about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), and will help both you and him deal with the diagnosis, what it means, and how to handle it for the best possible outcome. Good luck whatever you decide to do! :) [/QUOTE]
