[QUOTE="zzraven, post: 559780, member: 15493"] He's in pre-K and has a 4 hr. school day, 5 days/week. His original diagnosis was provided by the school district and several physicians and specialists in MD via comprehensive evaluation with-many months of testing. However, when we moved to DE, the school district evaluated him and said he was "too high functioning." Whereas his pedi says he's at least Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and that the district hasn't seen his history and development and apparently they don't understand the nature of the spectrum (she was upset when she found the district took away his services). However, the school district said they don't go by medical diagnosis when considering services, just what the district evaluation says and according to them, he's not Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). So we now have referrals for a re-evaluation by the developmental pedi along with-appts. for pediatric psychiatrist, behavioral psychiatric, neurology and he already sees a behavioral therapist. As for sleep, he gets 10 hrs./night along with-a 2 hr. nap each day. He sleeps pretty well, though he has a history of night terrors and had a recent episode of sleep walking. I'm also worried because he's had so much change in his life (we're a military family, so we've moved a lot) and now father in law and brother in law are moving in with-us (semi-permanently) in the next few weeks. So, he'll go through periods of great sleep, only to have major life events interrupt and it takes forever to reestablish. [/QUOTE]
