[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 383292, member: 1550"] I think autistic spectrum kids have far worse social problems then other kids and can not handle transitions. They just seem not to "get" people or life in general. It can look like defiance, but it's frustration and confusion. in my opinion the best way to see where your child leans is to take him to a neuropsychologist. You can find them in Children's and University hospitals. Schools are poor diagnosticians and NeuroPsychs do test for everything under the sun. Then I'd test again every two years as symptoms show up as they get older and it gets easier to figure out the main problem. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids seem years younger socially than they are. And it is very hard to teach them how to "get it." My spectrum son is seventeen now and in some ways he's seventeen and in other ways (like his interests) he is maybe ten. [/QUOTE]
