[QUOTE="mamargentina, post: 419142, member: 11638"] I'm M, my son L. is 4 and a half years old. We live in Argentina. About a year ago we were suggested by a relative - doctor-that there was sth wrong with my son. the pediatrician suggested we should wait until he started school. We have an appointment with a neurologist next month, but now both the school teacher and the pediatrician seem to agree that my son suffers from Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified, high functioning. I can't believe how much I have been overlooking in my son, how much I have lied to myself, and how much I have waited to start with diagnosis and interventions. I watched a video of us when he was almost 2 and he looked at me in the eye much more than now, and needed less promtping for speaking. My husband is in denial - although he denies that too. I feel terribly alone and I'm scared of how much he will - or won't-help me when we get indications on how to raise him- my husband doesn't believe in rules, limits, etc that are too fixed. Also, when I think about my son's future - school, friends. romantic life. work, etc, I feel terrified. Will I ever overcome these feelings and be able to enjoy being my son's mother again? He's such a loving kid... [/QUOTE]
