[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 193726, member: 4560"] Interesting perspective. I just finished posting, asking for some input from other "older" parents of spectrum kids. We've had several docs suggest recently that my difficult child's spectrum diagnosis may not be correct anymore. I found that a little shocking, as I didn't think they'd ever take his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) off the table. Maybe I'm just looking at things wrong. Maybe my difficult child is progressing "up the ladder" as you suggested. I still don't think we should be looking to take his spectrum diagnosis off the table completely, but looking at it as an improvement in his functioning rather than a mis-diagnosis does give me a much better feeling. Who knows? Maybe in a few years he'll be able to function to such an extent that no one would know he's on or had ever been on the spectrum. Oh wouldn't that be such a wonderful improvement? :) [/QUOTE]
