[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 217577, member: 1550"] I have a son who has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and I kept being told they didn't see autism either, but he had it and thank god we got him into interventions even without a diagnosis. I would have him seen by an Autism Clinic or a neuropsychologist and get him into interventions even if you CAN'T get a diagnosis. He has a lot of red flags for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and, unless he has classical autism (and it doesn't sound like he does) it can be missed until much later, when the time for early intervention is too late. Some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids regress. Mine didn't, but about 15% do. Teachers/educators are not qualified to either catch it or diagnose it. You need to have him evaluated. And you'll probably need to do it again at age five. He is not a typical three year old, and you should keep an eye on him. By the way, it is common for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids to have no language one day and suddenly seem to blast into language the next. But does he repeat the same things or talk to you in an interactive way? My son started talking by echoing television programs and things I said. Now he is 15 and speaks really well and is doing great. [/QUOTE]
