[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 337987, member: 1550"] I was told that a speech delay means Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, but it doesn't really matter. High functioning autism is high functioning autism. I agree that often they can't process too much at one time and that this can cause meltdowns. My son is old enough now to say, often agitated, "You're telling me to do too much." Then I have to stop and give him one sentence at a time. I have noticed that my son can not hold a long, meaningful give-and-take conversation. He either says "yes" or "no" or "I don't want to talk about it" or he monologues about his special interest (and he knows EVERYTHING about it). He took Speech, not because he couldn't speak well, but to teach him conversational speech. He still isn't very good at it, but he's better. [/QUOTE]
