[QUOTE="AprilH, post: 133613"] Hey there Smallworld! Yep, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is one of the many diagnosis's we have heard over the years; every psychiatric has a different opinion/idea of what the deal is, which is understandable...we just keep plugging away! We have been told that it may be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Asperger's, ADD/ADHD/ ODD/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified/Depressive Disorder-not otherwise specified. Recently, the psychiatric he has been seeing now for about a year has been tossing Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) around to explain what the deal is. One thing that all doctors we have seen have said is that it may be years. if ever that we really truly get an idea of what is going on and/or a correct diagnosis by the time he turns 18. I wish there was a button, switch or SOMETHING that we could plug into our children's heads to hear what is going on in there! I suspect that many of you in here have the same hurdle to cross when it comes to getting your babies to open up and tell you what they are feeling/thinking/hearing in some cases. I tell me son all the time that I cannot read his mind and that I need him to tell me what is going on so I can help him, but it has not clicked in him yet. Frustrating to say the least, but I don't let him know it...I just remind him that I am here and not going anywhere...:singing: [/QUOTE]
