    My 12yo son with a PDD-NOS diagnosis and video games

    Hello all. Thank you for reading this. Is my 12yo old son addicted to video games? I think he might be. He plays long hours, is going to sleep late, wants to play all day long. I know this might describe lots of kinds. But my son also is giving us a very hard time when we try to guide him. He...

    My 12yo son with a PDD-NOS diagnosis "wants to live in the past". Can't figure it out.

    Thank you so much for all your comments. They are all precious to me. So, as time has passed this has become in some instances worse. For example, my son now does not like "modern music", which would be most music on the radio. Last week we wanted to buy ice cream on small store in a gas...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Hello everybody. Just wanted to let you know my son and I are good friends again. It kind of happened overnight. Can't really figure out why he hated me so bad last year, but I'm just happy we're friends again, I just want to let it behind and focus on the new challenges we as a family have...

    My 12yo son with a PDD-NOS diagnosis "wants to live in the past". Can't figure it out.

    Thank you for all you kind and informative answers. They are all really helpful and do mean a lot to me! Some of you have expressed having experienced similar issues in the past. How did you cope with it? My son can be pretty obsessive about this and sometimes he does suffer because he can not...

    My 12yo son with a PDD-NOS diagnosis "wants to live in the past". Can't figure it out.

    Hello everyone. Thanks you for reading this. I have a 12yo son who has been diagnosed with Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) some years ago. He does have trouble socializing and communicating, and is not currently on therapy, although he has done a bit social...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know my girlfriend and I have read every comment in this thread, and are taking all suggestions into account. We are dealing with this the best we can. I feel somehow optimistic about it, in the long run, although I am not really sure why. Mostly a gut...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Thank you for your answer. He does not call me dad. I have occasionally called him my son in front of him, mostly to strangers, when doing any explaining would be out of place. I do always refer to him as my son in front of anybody, when he is not around. I just felt he might feel uncomfortable...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Thank you for your help. He was diagnose in the autistic spectrum, but his diagnosis said something like "unspecified condition". He was not diagnose as Aspergers. He was diagnose as high-functioning autistic. The diagnosis was a couple years back, maybe we should get another one...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Thank you for your answer. I do not think of paternity in terms of DNA. For me, is about love and the relationship. I met him and developed a paternal relationship with him. For me that is enough to love him as a son, regardless of biology. I do not want him to spend more or less time with his...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Also, I must be fair and admit me and my girlfriend have had arguments when my step son was nearby, and sometimes the arguments have been bitter and have made us all suffer. It might happen once a month or less. I would expect this to be normal, I guess all couples have arguments. Most of the...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Thank you for your answer. I think he does have narcissistic traits, as that way of thinking comes to me as the only explanation for cheating on my girlfriend for years and having a daughter in with some other woman and kept her hidden for years again. My girlfriend depicts him as egoistical...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Thank you so much for your answer. I was really informative, kind and gave me a bit of hope in a time I feel quite depressed about all this. I'll try to follow your advice. Thanks again!

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Thank you for reading this and for your answer. I do appreciate any feedback I can have that might help me understand this situation and maybe fix it. I need some clarification from you just to make sure I have not misinterpreted your message. When you say I should walk away, are you suggesting...

    My high-functioning autistic step son used to love me, now he hates me for no apparent reason

    Hello there. Thanks to anyone reading this thread for your attention. The title of this first message pretty much summarizes my problem. I started a relationship with mi girlfriend some 4 years ago. She has a son. He was 7yo when we first met. The father had cheated on my girlfriend and he...
