[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 498264, member: 8045"] I agree with the other posters.....my son was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified, but I think he is closer to AS! He always, well almost allways says no....when he says yes, it just doesnt sound right in my ears.....maybe thats how it feels to him to!?I remember a time when he said no for things I really expected a yes....when I ask him "really"?!....he would answer...no man...dont you know when I say no it means yes and when I say yes it actually means no!!! HUh.... He also did this thing...we have a township with the name Mamelodi....then he would say no its Papalodi (in our language mama is mother and pappa daddy...so the oposite)....He also sometimes makes up his own new words...very nice actually....I just remind him that he needs to remember that others dont understand the meaning....he needs to explain what it means.... Regarding not seing some people down the isle...this could MAYBE be that he becomes anxious with all the sensory stimulation in the shop....I shared previously that truely by accident we discovered that my son has micropsia....where in his brain he shrinks the people and they become as small as ants....mostly when he is stressed in school....so he might really not "see" them.....my son will also sometimes say it feels as if he is watching a video in slow motion while observing his environment....so dont assume what he is telling you is not true.....maybe he is just not expressing himself correctly..... I so fully agree that it truely sounds as if your son has auditory processing issues.....when he gives the word back incorrectly...it can really be thatbin his mind he is saying it right, but it comes out wrong....he might even have problems with auditory closure or poor discrimination.....a good speech evaluation might help when he is bit older..... I know how confusing all this is....it caused so much arguments in our home, my husband still falls for the arguments....now I just remind him that my son is stuck....just leave and ignore it.....it will pass.....and it does! Just to give you an idea....my son is , I think and hope, really very clever.....for some of his ST tests he tested age 11 yrs! But to our shock and amazement his expressive language(even though he talks fluantly and intelligently).... Tested 3 yr delay!!!!! We NEVER expected this! In some of his scoring there were a 6 yr gap! Imagine how frustrating this must be for our kids!!!!! Strenghts! [/QUOTE]
