[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 466847, member: 11791"] Terry - I don't know which traits in particular they were seeing... but in the long run, it might not even be Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. We had the same phrasing. Turns out... the combination of ADHD and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) actually covers the bases (for THOSE behaviors... there's more issues for our difficult child than just those). The difference is that there are specific things that you can do to really help these dxes... and many of these kids grow "enough" in their thinking that in the long run, the dxes will be minimized - the kid will have to remember, as an adult, to allow for and ask for accommodations, but... able to live a "normal" life. Don't take the diagnosis as final. Wherever they get to by age 25 is a better indicator...! [/QUOTE]
