[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 499253, member: 1550"] I don't know anything about Florida, but do know a lot about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, which was also my son's diagnosis, IS autism. It's just a higher functioning form. Does your son get interventions in school and the community? Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is not a mental illness. It is a neurological difference. Sometimes mental illness can reside with it, but it responds best to interventions. These kids have low frustration levels and have trouble communicating, even if speech is good. My son is eighteen now. His behaviors have improved tenfold with intervetions in school and the community. He has really learned how to calm himself down and stay on an even keel. These kids often do not respond well to therapists. They tend to be very concrete and not comfortable sharing or identifying their feelings, at least not in words. Keep posting. All of us would like to help you out :) [/QUOTE]
