[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 458356, member: 11791"] Now [U]there's[/U] a loaded question! Really... it depends on the school system, and the front-line staff you deal with. If they are symptom-driven, and prepared to work with parents and others involved with the child (therapist, psychiatrist, Occupational Therapist (OT), etc.), then the diagnosis doesn't make any difference - except that the school needs "some" diagnosis to justify the services... but Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) vs. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? no diff in this scenario. If they are diagnosis driven - then unless the dxes on your list match the dxes that they "know what to do with", you don't get anything... and what you DO get is not necessarily appropriate for this particular difficult child. In my experience, the ratio is less than 1 symptom-driven school system to 9 that are diagnosis driven... But even 5 years ago it was 99.9999% diagnosis driven - so, there is hope (somewhere).
