Help with my son

[HotMamma]

I'm new here. My oldest is 16 in Dec and a few years ago when he was seeing a phsychiatrist he was diagnosed as PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) which I was told is just a broad diag b/c they couldn't pinpoint anything except the ADHD and very boarderline Autism. Through the first school he went to (I homeschooled him for 3 years) they ran all their tests and questions and deemed him Auspergers(sp?). But I'm seeing commons in that he's a very sensitive person caring about others at his school getting picked on and very protective of his 2 sisters but very aggitated by his step-sibblings. I've just gotten the ability to take him to a dr again and am not very hopeful at this point if they can really help him.

The school he goes to now is great at helping him with coping with the real world but he's still stuck in the past a lot (being afraid that my husband will treat him similar to the way my ex-bf treated him even tho it's been a year since we've been living together).

I welcome all ideas and help also.

Welcome HotMamma.

I moved your post to its own thread, because the thread you posted in previously was very old. We try to ask everyone not to post in any threads with a last post date that is older than 30 days. I had to make up the title myself lol so I hope its alright! Good luck with your son!!!

hello,

since i am new here, it wont let me post my own thread.

i have a question about my teenage son.

He is a foster child that came to live with us. he gets to stay with us forever. (thank god) He has been diagnosed with autism, a very high functioning form. Everyday i go in and make his bed and recently i have been finding wrappers to feminine hygiene on the side of his bed and between the sheets. does anyone have any idea as to why?

we try to ask him and he shuts down...

any help

Teen covers a lot of ground.

Can you say how old he is?

And its OK to be candid here. Are you talking about tampons or pads or something else?

How long has he been in your care.

I didnt know there was a min post count to start a thread. If there is I think it would be only 5 so comment on some other post and make a thread but a little more info would be helpful.

i don't think there is a minimum post requirement i think my first ever post was to start a new thread. or maybe an introduction first. i can't see why you can't do it.. hmm dunno

[bssage]

that must be why all the spammers are throwing out three word replies.

There is a 5 post minimum before you are allowed to post any new threads outside of the introductions forum. Its a new thing, just started I don't know like a week ago. I totally hate it lol.

ah, that explains it... i didn't know about that lol. i guess its a good idea

I thought I could help but I guess not.
