[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 531335, member: 84"] Travis is neither aspergers, nor full blown autistic. He's in the middle, hence the diagnosis Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). And I know there are kids that fall in between those 3 and adults that carry enough traits that makes functioning difficult yet it is a bit cloudy as to whether or not they have it. Again, depends on who is doing the evaluation......they're level of experience and knowledge. You just described a typical day in the life of Travis at school......He couldn't get homework home or if on the rare occasion he got it home, it never made it back to school. Somehow it always got lost along the way. Not because he didn't want to do the work either. The boy would spend up to 5 hrs doing one assignment (homework was hell for the kid, took him 3 Xs longer than anyone else to do), what reason after spending all that time would he have for NOT returning it to school. This happened with all sorts of things. Ok, so that you know of no injuries to the head that would send up a red flag. So how was your labor and delivery with him? Any heart decelerations during labor? Any chance of oxygen deprivation? I'm asking because you said he's always been this way. Travis' Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurred at birth from severe oxygen deprivation......and no you really don't want me going into that long story. But it doesn't have to be severe deprivation to cause significant damage or even damage enough to impair functioning in certain areas. Travis has the diagnosis of static encephalopathy (fancy name for cerebral palsy that isn't diagnosed under 2 yrs of age) due to it. Nichole has the same diagnosis, believe it or not. She also had oxygen deprivation during delivery (decreased heart tones means less O2 to baby's brain). Fortunately for her, docs were more on the ball and she was delivered quickly via c section.....so hers wasn't over as long a period or quite as bad as her brothers.
