[QUOTE="agee, post: 339804"] About the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis: I specifically asked the doctors and they said he is not autistic. Not even on the spectrum. I get that autism is under the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) umbrella, and I know he probably needs some therapeutic interventions, but yes, I think medications are in order - the child alternates screaming or crying or arguing or obsessing and has no mood stability whatsoever). When I asked about therapy at the dr's they said there was no point until he's stable. As they explained it to me Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is an umbrella diagnosis that is descriptive and includes his hyperactivity, impulsivity, problems relating to people, and some minor Occupational Therapist (OT) problems. I know this doesn't jive with the way people on this board think of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), and I should probably take it off my signature because I think it's throwing people off. As far as I'm concerned we still have no real diagnosis and in this case Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) does about as much good as ADHD in describing how he acts. I think, based on the medications the doctors. are suggesting, they think he's bipolar. And I know at the bottom of it all is Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). A [/QUOTE]
