[QUOTE="Malika, post: 419160, member: 11227"] Hello and I'm sorry for your pain and shock - everything seems very daunting and frightening at first, before you have had time to come to terms with it. Please don't feel bad about having left it so "late" - four and a half is very early to be intervening, I feel. And quite possibly nothing could have been done or diagnosed before. My son was first referred to a psychologist at the age of about 18 months because of his physical hyperactivity and since then I have just been consistently told that it is too early to diagnose what the hyperactivity suggests (ADHD)! And, without dismissing the input of the specialists, if I think about it, the most helpful thing I have done is to read and gather knowledge myself... I do not know specifically what Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) entails - I know someone here posted a link that was an online test consisting of many questions for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). All your fears for the future are very natural and understandable. Having a "different" child involves a kind of grieving, of course - for the child one imagined and "wanted". I also understand about being in denial... I am sure that that is also par for the course! I do hope you get the help and evaluations you need. [/QUOTE]
