[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 311159, member: 1550"] A lot of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids don't give a rat's about peer pressure as they'd rather be alone anyway, don't care about teacher approval, etc...you get the difference. A Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid at my daughter's last school ate lunch alone. It was a very small school so everyone was bonded and some nice kids would always try to get him to sit with them. He's always smile and say, "No thanks. I'd rather eat alone." Puzzled the kids, but he never did join in and never seemed lonely about it...lol. In fact, many Aspies think everyone is equal and never understand why teachers are "above" them in authority and don't accept that they are. It's different from bipolar issues. And you kind of have to try to think like the child because he doesn't think like your regular kid and peer pressure is usually unimportant. So the natural consequences may not bother him at all. Depends on the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kid. They're all in different functional levels and have unique personalities, BUT they are all differently-wired and "quirky" (not a bad thing to me) in their thinking. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
