[QUOTE="SRL, post: 64792, member: 701"] There are children of different diagnosis's with many overlapping symptoms represented here on our forum, Dara, and it's natural for parents who recognize similar symptoms to offer advice based on their experiences. It is natural for parents of children on the Autistic Spectrum to go there when Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is currently listed in your signature and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is generally grouped with the Autistic spectrum. If 4 different doctors have agreed that Sammy's not on the spectrum then you might want to clarify in your signature Pervasive Developmental Disorder-not otherwise specified/Autism ruled out. If those doctors believe his primary problem are behavioral in the form of defiance, stubborness (or whatever) then perhaps it would be prudent to add that into your signature as well since it's rare that we see that as the primary underlying issue in a child as young as yours. Otherwise posters here will likely continue to interpret it as Autistic Spectrum. As always, take from the the replies what is helpful and disregard the rest. If you've covered your bases assessment wise, then diagnosis is probably not as important as interventions at this point anyway. [/QUOTE]
