[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 516993, member: 11791"] Pretty much. Like, to the point that some psychiatrists will tell the parent that the child is really Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, but will provide a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... just so they can get services in the school and medical communities... If your needs match some neat little check-off box - or multiples of these - they will do a fair bit. Downs? Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? quadraplegic, CP, etc. no problem. ADHD doesn't get resources, but does get informal accommodations (usually). Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) gets dealt with. But... Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)? ignore. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)? ignore. Actually - whatamess... maybe you need to get that Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis re-evaluated... and see if it isn't "really" Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? Not that it necessarily is, but if the psychiatrist understands the predicament, maybe he IS close enough to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to be "nudged" over the line and get that diagnosis? Because... Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is most definitely a disability, even to a layman... [/QUOTE]
