Hi all,
I am new here but very excited about finding this forum. I have 3 awesome girls. They are 6, 4 and 17 months. My 4 yr old was diagnosed with autism- Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified at 2 yrs old. She has went through a lot of therapy through early intervention and made huge gains in all areas but her behavioral and mood issues. She is now getting services through the public schools and they are only okay in comparison to EI. We recently (1 week ago) had her re- evaluated and sgot rediagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and also diagnosed with ODD and ADHD. We were not at all surprised, but are now trying to take it all in and set up the best services and therapy for her. The doctor also thinks she has bi polar warning signs and childhood depression signs, so we are going to a psychiatrist soon.
The school says she is an angel there and says they were surprused she got Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) again cus they thought she had outgrown it. (yeah cus that happens often, right! LOL) And they are telling me they disagree with the docs new diagnosis's. she has an IEP review meeting in a month and it is not gonna be fun. I am sure I will be posting a lot of questions to you all before then.
So, anyway I can not wait to meet you all!
