[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 503472, member: 1550"] My son was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Under the new definition Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and Aspergers all get the same diagnosis...Autistic Spectrum Disorder. My son's diagnosis was changed to this and he is now eighteen...he is getting a lot of services transitioning to an adulthood where he will be needing special work and life accommodations. I'm very pleased. The diagnoses of Aspergers and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified will become a thing of the past. Aspergers and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified ARE on the autism spectrum. Bipolar II was changed to Mood Spectrum Disorder (I have this) and nothing has changed except the diagnosis. I would wait and see...I think it will actually turn out to be beneficial for most kids :) [/QUOTE]
