[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say lots of signs of an ASD -- rigidity, special interests.  It also sounds like your family has done what some families with kids with ASDs do which is accommodate bad behaviors because it seems so difficult to address them, but this just kicks the can down the road and its more difficult when they get older.

I would ignore 5:42.  Yes, this is bad behavior but he really does have the signs of an ASD and you've gotten the diagnosis.  I don't understand why you are confused when you've actually gotten the diagnosis, and a second opinion confirming it.  It really sounds like you and your husband are just being passive in the face of all this and that doesn't serve your son's interests at all.

You need a developmental pediatrician to guide you through the appropriate interventions and you need a professional to assist you with behavior modification (with all due respect, a diet isn't going to fix this) because you have a lot to address and you need to do it carefully.

Just because your son has an AD it doesn't mean that you just let him behave in whatever manner he does.  It means you have to step up and guide him so he will be able to function in the world as it is.  [/quote]
