[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 573003, member: 1550"] Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) runs in families. Your brother having it puts him at a higher risk. Often the kids do grow out of some of the traits only to pick up new ones, not the least of which they have no idea how to make or keep friends. I'm still worried about the tics and I think you should still take him to a neurologist. I don't think school knows much about either Tourettes, epilepsy or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). All Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are different. Teachers are educators, nothing more. They don't know about medical things, even if they sometimes think they do. I'm pretty blunt, especially regarding our c hildren. No matter what YOU think, it is still in my opinion risky not to have him seen by a doctor for his tics and spells. You are not a doctor either. You really need to get him in to a neurologist. I don't understand why you won't. Doesn't make sense. But I know some people are afraid of what they'll hear. Still...not a good excuse in my opinion :) JMO [/QUOTE]
