[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 23671, member: 1550"] I can tell you first hand that the psycologist is wrong about Aspergers and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. My son has it and I'm in a group of parents and kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Many seem quite alert, some have even learned to make eye contact. They are not always "in their own world." My son is so much better now that nobody would ever guess he's on the Spectrum and I'll bet that psycologist would say he has ADHD too. See the neuropsychologist. They know more about the Spectrum. Sorry you had such a bad experience. I had one psycologist (I really don't like regular psycologists, in general) who told me in front of my four year old son, "There's not much you can do about THESE kids" as if my son couldn't understand him just because he had a speech delay. I still have fantasies of finding him and punching him in the nose. I wonder what this psycologist thinks autism looks like because it looks very different depending on the child. Aspie kids tend to have very high IQ's, but are socially clueless. [/QUOTE]
