[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 205860, member: 1550"] Hi there, hon. Look, I have a son with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and your son sounds NOTHING like him. Sensory issues alone aren't enough. He needs a total evaluation. Did he have any speech delays? Does he understand social cues? It is rare for a child with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified to function well in school to the point that he could do ok in a less structured charter school. I guess I'm confused. My son had delays in speech, eye contact with strangers, pottying, fine motor, and social skills. He is 15 and just kind of coming out of it after years of intervention. He is finally getting A's and B's (FINALLY mainstreamed) and was asked to homecoming. It took him this long. A regular behavioral therapist probably won't help a kid on the spectrum. They are too literal and don't really do much give-and-take conversation. I especially personally wouldn't trust somebody who isn't in private practice. My experience with my son was that they aren't as good as the private professionals. Maybe your son is an Aspie. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is different. If your son can do that, I'd question the diagnosis. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
