DS was diagonsed as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The behavioral peditrician explained that they are trying to move away from saying that a child has AS or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. So ds is considered on the spectrum because he fits in to so many different things.
So the next installment of the journey begins. I left a message with an Autism Resource Center that is close by and we will be requesting full IEP testing for school.
We are starting outreach therapy in a few weeks so that will help with some of the behavior issues.
