[QUOTE="my2sons, post: 7485, member: 2722"] Thanks for replying. His diagnosis for school is listed as autism (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified), so he gets a lot of the autistic therapy. Sometimes, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is classified as a catch all because of the developmental delays, but he has so many of the autistic characteristics, I am wondering if he would be able to get the classic autism diagnosis. One reason for such, is that he is listed in the moderate range, of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He still at 8, needs a lot of help with self-care, he needs a lot of re-direction, and he has some bathroom issues. Immature for his age, and has a lot of issues. He is getting ST and Occupational Therapist (OT), learning support, and sped. But, he still is having some issues with meltdowns, being able to stay on task, and lately, he has been having a hard time with his obsessions. His sped teacher today, stated, that yesterday, he was really upset and fixed on the scrape on his knee, and had a hard time with staying on task and focusing. The behavior issues were a major concern last year, and are this year as well. We had his in ESY over the summer, and they have an aide that works 1:1 with him, to be able to stay on task. He is mainstreamed, but goes out every day for learning support, and sped (also therapy). I guess as a mother, I worry that as the work gets harder, things might get worse, and he is going to have a hard time with mainstreaming. Lisa [/QUOTE]
