[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 20279, member: 211"] Hi again family, Thank you to all who responded! I took the test at childbrain and J scored a 146, Moderate Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). When I looked at the questions, I read each one very carefully and so many of them were right on or at least partially true. I can't wait till husband gets home from work and see how he would answer them. J does this repetetive thing, picking her fingers over and over. She has done this since we got her at 4 months old. She was substance, emotionally and physically abused by bio family. She arrived to us with "failure to thrive", took about 2 weeks of almost force feeding her every 2 hours to get her to trust that she really was going to be fed regularly and loved! [img]:sad:[/img] She had pretty good eye contact with us and those she is very familiar, but neighbors or even the pharmacist who we see almost every week, she won't look at them at all. Marg, we have been doing alot of the things you suggested, husband reads to her as part of her nightly ritual. This morning was "a morning!" The pants husband picked out for her, she refused to put on correctly, he ended up taking her to daycare with them on backwards. Thankfully we have a wonderful understanding Difficult Child provider and they make a game of getting her redressed. Oh, and husband forgot to put her toast on her tray before her oatmeal, so that went crashing to the floor. She has toe walked since she learned out to walk. Has great difficulty with running "smoothly", pretty much a rambling, elephant like run. If we can get an official Autistic diagnosis that would open her to soooo many services here. I will wait to see what happens at the IEP on March 2nd then see if we need to follow up with another doctor. What type of doctor diagnosis's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? psychiatrist, pediatrician, behavioral doctor??? Thanks again all! I will read as much on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to I can understand it more accurately. Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
