[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 330517, member: 1991"] That's a point, Daisylover. In yesterday's paper (Australia) there was an obituary for Kim Peek, who was the inspiration for Dustin Hoffman's character in "Rain Man". They didn't find out until later in life, but he actually had a problem with his corpus callosum not developing properly. He was functionally autistic, but due to a brain defect, a physical problem that could be identified. A neurologist can ensure such things are identified. But for most kids with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in some form (or even suspected), a neurologist is not likely to be much help long-term. Unless he's an exception to the rule.
