[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 569239, member: 11791"] Who gave the diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? That's a big red flag... it stands for pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified... e.g. may not meet exact requirements for Aspie or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but is definitely in that range... ODD... describes behavior. Validates that the behavior is a problem... and offers nothing else. For us, it worked as a placeholder diagnosis, something that said "the professionals recognize that this child has a problem" (a.k.a. the opposite of "it's a parenting problem"). In reality, ODD has a reason... and you need to find that reason. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and sensory processing disorder (SPD) and ADHD and a raft of other stuff often go with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Has he ever had a really comprehensive evaluation? What was he like as a baby and toddler? [/QUOTE]
