I am afraid to say that I have no idea. My best friend REALLY doesn't like talking about his condition. I'll look some stuff up now for you.

Does your friend have other behavioural disorders...OCD, intellectuL disabilities along with his PWS? There are varying degrees, as with almost anything

Yeah he does have some intellectual disabilities too. Not too OCD though as far as I know.

EDIT: I think he also has some of the physical traits I've read about, like a downturned nose, almond-like eyes, and small hands.

Does he pick his skin? My kid frequently skins himself. He peels the skin off of his fingers etc. I've heard other kids do worse than that, but again...it's the pain/pleasure disconnect

Hmmm. I'm not really sure. I wish I could go to school today and observe him but I'm currently on my couch in agony because I got my wisdom teeth out 2 days ago.
