[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 77947, member: 1550"] Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Jones here. Just kidding [img]:wink:[/img] Have you ever seen children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? Your son's language problem is more indicative of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified than Aspergers Syndrome. Aspergers kids usually don't have speech problems.
