I received an email from a wonderful mother explaining her current situation that I very much relate to. Her teenage son is diagnosed with PDD-NOS and has made tremendous strides and progress throughout the years.
Currently, her son is having difficulty in certain situations (like waiting in line for example), and has begun to act out physically when frustrated. Mom is on the ball! She has educated herself, consulted professionals, and continues to seek ideas and advice. She has “tried everything” (can anyone relate or what?) and has little success.
Like all of us, she worries about the implications of his reaction during these times and so I decided to post this challenge and seek your advice – anyone care to share?
