[QUOTE="SRL, post: 30269, member: 701"] Sorry, I missed that Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis. We have seen a number of children come through here with early diagnosis's of Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) who actually were Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) instead. What frequently happened in those cases were that the psychiatrist labeled the BiPolar (BP) and started medicating and poor responses to the medications actually made the child look more BiPolar (BP) and masked the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) symptoms. If this were my child I would place heavy emphasis on Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) intervention strategies along with the sensory processing disorder (SPD): cues, schedules, social skills training, strategies to address anxiety, etc. I don't know what your final ending would be but what many parents with this situation (Midwestmom is one of them) have found is that once they had the correct school placement, home strategies, and therapies in place for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), the BiPolar (BP) symptoms gradually faded.
