[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 317726, member: 84"] Well. I have a son with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Don't let the social side of difficult child put you off. My son is also very social when it comes to family.....can be very caring of others.....has friends....... So yeah. The social part is one of the signs/symptoms but seems with different people it has varying degrees. My son actually gets along well with people. But his issues now center more around misreading social cues, not recognizing personal space, and developmental level. He is still several years behind his peers. And yet he is also very out of sight out of mind......and tends to isolate himself except for family and very close friends. From the way it was explained to me....Aspie and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) are similar because they're on the same spectrum. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is just further down the scale with aspie being on a higher fuctioning level than Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). If you suspect your son is on the spectrum, I'd do whatever possible to get him a neuropsychologist evaluation by a neuropsychologist. After 18....you need his consent to do so. Many places have services even for adults on the autism spectrum. Travis could enjoy such services (tons) in cincy if he had a way to the center there. Hugs [/QUOTE]
