[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686781, member: 1550"] My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified and it was obvious as soon as we met him, but nobody would listen to us. He was adopted at two. He was alert but did not speak until five, pottied late, and back then had whopper tantrums,but he was never mean. He was picky about clothing, food, and covered his ears for loud noises. They diagnosed him first with adhd, but stims made him mean and aggressive. He was then GREATLY misdiagnosed with chiodhood biplar and put on worse drugs. After a while hubby and I just figured out that our mild tempered boy was grossly misdiagnosed. We took him to a neutopsycologist and after ten hours of testing he was diagnosed. In his case it made so much sense on every level. He went uphill from there with NO medications and just Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions and is a total success story and lovebug at age 22. He is very content and happy in his own skin and I would really like to find his ex-psychiatrist and tell him off. Bipolar, my backside. I suggest you read up on autism to make sure they got it right. Unfortunately, they often make mistakes. We are the gatekeepers. Wish you luck!!! Big hug...you deserve some relief now. Oh yeah...my son is not anti-social, but has very young interests and likes to be alone after work. He has one close friend with special needsv(great person), he sees him once a week and that is enough socializing for him. [/QUOTE]
