[QUOTE="Numina, post: 214604, member: 6360"] Hi! Waves. Not really sure what to say. You're all great and have given me such hope and reassurance. 9 yr old DS was given a tentative diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified Tuesday - completely out of the blue for me. I don't see it but a mother wouldn't, would she? His teacher recruited our GP to stage an intervention on me so I took DS to be tested. It's funny, 'Aspergers light' I can stomach. Saying he's 'tongue tied with some adults and a very picker eater' don't make me want to run from the room screaming like the scary label "PPD" does. Now that I'm paying attention I see him playing with light switches and babbling prosady. He really melts down if he has to write an imaginative story for school. I'm meeting with the GP on Wednesday to stage a plan of action. And husband and I have an appointment in two weeks to see what the psychologist recommends. I don't know what's sadder; a) thinking I was the only one who had to deal with a 9 yr old's dingle berries or b) that there are more mothers in the world who have to deal with them. [/QUOTE]
