[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks so much for the explanation.  PP, do you know any good ABA therapists?  I don't yet know much about it and will research it, but in the interim, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.  FWIW, dev ped is not 100% sure she has PDD and wants to reevaluate her in 3-6 months.  Somedays I don't think she does - she will walk up to people, make eye contact, wave, smile, etc.  She carries around a cellphone and pretends to talk and she's got a cribful of stuffed toys she calls her friends.  She's always been very outgoing in our family.  Other days, she turns away when someone looks at her (as she did when she was with the doctor who we saw for other issues).  I'm very confused, but I also know that the earlier the therapy begins the better (she's already doing OT and language).[/quote]

Unfortunately, I have moved out of the area so I can't recommend an ABA therapist where you live. Maybe your dev ped can recommend someone? By the way, my child also has PPD-NOS and also makes great eye contact, smiles a lot, loves to be around people, is very social...etc. That does not mean that he does not have serious issues in other areas, for example he is very behind in speech. ABA therapy helps with a variety of issues including language delays. I would strongly recommend you look into it. As you know, the sooner you start therapy, the better the prognosis. My child also does OT and speech therapy in addition to ABA. Best of luck.[/quote]
