[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 329686, member: 1550"] Well, he has a lot of symptoms of autistic spectrum disorder, maybe Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (high functioning). A pediatrician is usually not good at spotting this. I don't care for developmental pediatricians either, but a lot of people do. I prefer NeuroPsychs as they test very intensively. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids do VERY well with help, but it needs to be ongoing, even after the kids seem to be doing better. To see if the diagnosis is maybe a fit (we are NOT professionals) here is an online test that can be very useful if you answer honestly: [URL]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/URL] Good luck, and don't worry. Early intervention is wonderful. My son started out as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and was adopted...his birthmother did drugs. Traumas before and during birth can cause Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but it is also very workable. My son is sixteen now and nobody would know he is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I'm very pleased. Tickled, in fact, at the progress. Others will come along. Welcome to the board.:raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
