[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 183288, member: 1550"] Sadly, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is often misdiagnosed. We were also told "no way." But we knew. Going with our gut, we got him the proper interventions, although we DID put him on a lot of medications for other disorders, and I feel badly about that now. He has had Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) interventions all his life and is doing great now at fifteen. Go with your gut. Unfortunately, many doctors don't know how to diagnose a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). We finally found a neuropsychologist who said, "WHO said he doesn't have it???" The older he got, the BETTER he got, but the more obvious his diagnosis became. I can't believe he lined things up and they said "no way." But I've heard everything from "eye contact to good", "too social" to "he can go from one room to another without raging so he can't have it." In the end, we were right and I'm glad we treated it. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are VERY high anxiety. VERY. Hard to describe. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
