[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 92226, member: 1550"] My son is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I believe they are both on the autism spectrum. I was told a speech delay means no Aspergers, although I'm not sure this always follows. I think professionals use their own criteria. My son COULD be considered Aspergers because he's so high functioning, however he did have a speech delay, hyperlexia, and echolalia early on. My son also had early trouble answering "w" questions "what, why, where, what?" When asked, "What's your name?" he'd answer "name" yet he knew his name and would respond to it. This symptom went away by age three/early four for Lucas. My eleven year old definitely has Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), which has given her a lot of trouble in school. She never had any ear infections and she spoke early and clearly. This problem affects her most with reading and understanding directions unless she is shown them rather than just told them. In no way is this child on the spectrum. She is very social and extremely appropriate with her peers, very well liked too. [/QUOTE]
