[QUOTE="keista, post: 535339, member: 11965"] Welcome. Firstly, you don't have a diagnosis. What you have is the opinion of school staff. However, in my experience, early dxes of sensory issues and ADHD very often = spectrum. Not knowing anything else, I'd agree with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. The good news is that at this early age, that diagnosis opens all sorts of doors in the school system, especially if it's school staff identifying it. If I were you, I would accept whatever accommodations and services the school is offering and go get your own private evaluations. At the same time, read up more about the Autism Spectrum. It's not as scary as it sounds. In the "old days" Rainman (the movie) was considered what high functioning looked like. These days he's considered severely impaired. High functioning spectrum can be very easily missed in the general population. With my kids you wouldn't know it unless you spent a substantial amount of time with them and were familiar with all facets of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). [/QUOTE]
