[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 241807, member: 1550"] Janna, from our talk, I really think he needs Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) interventions. He won't get them from a psychiatrist or an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). This poor little guy has NO social skills. It's common for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids to just blurt out silly words they heard and not really hold a give-and-take conversation, but an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) won't help that. As for mania--is he on stimulants or antidepressants? They can make a kid look manic even if he's not. Stimulants, in particular, are speed and, trust me--I tried Ritalin--they DO NOT calm everyone down. I was FLYING...lol. That is, I flew until I crashed. This child is not getting what he needs at school and it's making him unable to learn. L. needed a lot of help with academics, focus, and organization to function in school. Now he's pretty much on his own because he was taught how to do things that other kids seem to just learn by osmosis. I'd get down and dirty and force that mediation to get him intensive Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) interventions. Psychiatrists often are completely clueless about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and don't help. (((Hugs))) JMO [/QUOTE]
