[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193735, member: 1550"] Frankly, my son has social skills now and he's on the spectrum. Who is telling you he's not? Is it somebody very knowledgeable about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? If it's not, frankly, I wouldn't believe him. Can you find somebody who understands Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)? It doesn't go away and social skills issues are a huge problem with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) teens and adults, and they don't learn social skills by talk therapy in a conventional way. JMO, but I'd find somebody else who will continue to help your child improve. It's insane to say he no longer has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) just because he has learned to do eye contact. Some Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids do learn it. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids *do* improve (see my post), but they still have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). OFten Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) gets mistaken for things that just aren't there, such as bipolar, and the kids end up on a slew of medications because the therapists don't understand that they are neurologically impaired, not mentally ill. Your kiddo has been hospitalized a lot. Are you sure they are focusing on the right things? Are the medications making him better? This is your call, but I'd go elsewhere. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
