[QUOTE="cfa3, post: 499263, member: 6817"] As for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified by the way, the reason he is often given that diagnosis and that I feel comfortable with it is that it is not only "higher functioning" Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but, to my understanding, different Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), quirky and does NOT fill all the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) symptoms. That is my son. He also changes a lot. But he doest really share most of the diagnostic autism criteria, yet he has impairments in some of the areas. This is why he never fits in with the autism groups or sports or classrooms - he will ask me, "mom why doesnt joey (with autism) look at my face? why wont he answer my questions?" or "why wont he play with me?" My son doesnt get it because he doesnt share so many of those issues. Yet at the same time my son is totally irrational with peers and cannot understand why everyone doesnt love him and he doesnt know really when to stop talking about his interest and he forgets to ask about the other person etc, yet has never fit in with autism "stuff". Hope this makes sense. [/QUOTE]
