[quote=Anonymous]Oh man, PP, I think it would serve you and you boy both to go back and ask some hard questions.  Just to give you an example, our little guy was also diagnosed with PDD-NOS this spring.  He is a sweet, bright, loving little boy who is as happy as the day is long.  Like your little guy, ours does not easily make eye contact and ends up playing by himself a lot, though we can't tell if it is because he wants to or if it's because he can't figure out social interactions.  BUT (and this is a big BUT): he is also testing at the 1st percentile or below in every major language/speech category, at the 2nd percentile below in every major OT category (with especially bad muscle tone and fine motor issues) and with delayed social skills that test at the 'severely delayed' level.  So, there's a ton of doucmentation to support the diagnosis.  What sorts of testing has the doctor performed for your child?  How did he conclude that it is PDD-NOS, rather than a language delay or perhaps social anxiety?  I don't mean to second-guess him, but I think you are right to have concerns.[/quote]
