[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 7491, member: 84"] I know the autistic spectrum disorders can be confusing. T is also Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified but when he was young he had tons of classic autisim traits. (what I would class as severe) As he aged, he seemed to progress out of the severity, although slowly. At 20, his maturity is still hovering at around 12-13 yrs. I still have to all but drag him in the bathroom to maintain hygiene. (yuk) If you think a new diagnosis for severity will help with more services..... Well, I would do an instensive investigation into what services would change, or if they would change, before even considering it. Because if his services, treatment won't change, there really isn't much point. And he may be like T and progress as he ages. [/QUOTE]
