[QUOTE="buddy, post: 503255, member: 12886"] Some friends and I went through this (very unscientifically) to check to see if our kids would qualify...Q was a slam dunk, always is... Three of the kids with aspergers, easily would still qualify, the problem we had was with two kids who have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified.... They both have some services now and get supports under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the school system, but our school system has a higher percentage of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids than many school districts. So many in general...who have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, even now have a hard time getting services for many but in this new classification I wonder if there will be any similar way to say they are Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-almost. I have not seen an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-not otherwise specified type of category to make up for this. I wonder if people will use Pragmatic Communication Disorder more now? We did that in the school for one little girl who had diabetes, some learning issues and lots of social communication issues but not any behavioral problem or mood problem. I fear many of them will be switched to just anxiety disorder or something..(not that this may not be part of it for them anyway, but how to get them the social support?? The direct teaching and training some of them may need.... and since so many get Occupational Therapist (OT) accommodations and services as a related service that is common for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), will people be forced to fight even harder for that... likely just that more will not get it.) Well, we all felt ok about the new criteria for Asperger's (of course with only looking at those three kids, I have thought of others though too and I can see them qualifying). Should try it yourself and see what you think. It is very broad descriptions of symptoms...from has a problem with a symptom to can't do it at all in many cases. I sure hope especially, that kids who are now getting services dont lose them. [/QUOTE]
