[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 92194, member: 23"] My son is on the spectrum also. I'm happy to report that he has been responsive to interventions/therapies and it is very unlikely that he would be diagnosed with-Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified today. It's still there, but he's come a long, long way. Couple of other links for you: [url]http://www.parentcenterhub.org/resources/[/url] Info such as, "Obsessive-compulsive disorder (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are often comorbid psychiatric symptoms that some clinicians label separately, whereas others include them as part of the presentation of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Regardless of the approach, these symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and ADHD may be disabling and require treatment with standard approaches that include but that are not limited to medications and behavioral therapy." can be helpful also. I also wanted to comment on, "When he was a baby he always had ear infections/tubes and his speech was a little delayed." Ear infections can certainly have an adverse impact on language development, but what many parents do not know is that ear infections can cause Central Auditory Processing Disorder. Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is not a hearing loss. Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) aka Auditory Processing Disorder is diagnosed by an audiologist with-experience and proper sophisticated equipment to do the testing, but treated by a speech language pathologist. There are different types of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) -- see [url]http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/medical/ears/central_auditory.html[/url] . Not to complicate things for you, but Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is difficult to distinguish from ADHD. Something you might want to discuss with-the doctor. in my opinion, sometimes ruling out a problem is just as important as ruling one in. [/QUOTE]
