[QUOTE="jal, post: 212160, member: 3477"] Last night our clinician and mental health worker came (we applied for and receive voluntary services through DCF). I told them what the therapist at the new school said about autism and their eyes bugged out. They presented our difficult child at rounds yesterday and the head psychiatrist said the same thing about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and being on the spectrum. They are going to plant the seed about another neuropsychologist - since we are under the voluntary svcs DCF will pay for it. This has been in the back of our minds for a while, yet when I questioned our psychiatrist he said no. I thing we are finally onto our answer. I have been posting a bit more in Special Education because we were in the process of moving difficult child to a therapeutic school, so many may not be aware of what we have been through. The agonizining decision to pull him from what he knows to get him the services he needs. The loss of 5 days cares, the loss of my job of 9.5 yrs. because of this. I now know that we have done the right thing for him. 3 fresh pair of eyes have picked up on this in a matter of days! DDD - I've been on the wrong roller coaster with EOBD and ADHD for years - I'm grabbing my ticket and getting on the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) rollercoaster! I almost feel renewed!
