[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 498668, member: 13038"] I would fight for *some* kind of diagnosis. A diagnosis of sensory processing disorder (SPD) means nothing to a school district; it's not recognized in the DSM and a concrete diagnosis can help you get an IEP. Does your son have an IEP? I can't remember. If he's not really on the spectrum, it'll become apparent over time. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is a good place to start. Also, not sure how things are in NC, but in mine (NY) there are therapy frequencies mandated by the state (for autism)--doesn't mean that some school districts don't ignore them, but still. [/QUOTE]
