[QUOTE="Dara, post: 191668, member: 3572"] Sammy's Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is just the tip of his issues. Sammy is what they call On that fine line of being on the spectrum. It is always a debate he does have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) he doent have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). ALl of the doctors we have seen go back and forth with it because it isnt so clear with Sammy. Homeschooling would never work for Sammy because that would mean he would have to be taught by me.
