[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 467025, member: 11791"] One therapist explained that so many of these dxes are related... ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Asperger's, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, and so on. The labels are just a way of drawing lines in the sand, of creating categories - which can be useful for some things, less useful for others. So... your difficult child's diagnosis could be right, or wrong, or both... as in, he could be more Aspie than they think, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviors are part of Aspie... or, he could just have some Aspie traits plus Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Does it really make any difference? No... one way or another, though, each behavior should match one of the dxes given... AND the usual approaches for dealing with that diagnosis should have impact. If no impact or wrong impact, maybe not right diagnosis? For example ADHD/ODD vs. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... require different approaches. [/QUOTE]
