[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so you know the PDD-NOS diagnosis is sometimes given to kids on the very high functioning end of the spectrum, kids who have above average intelligence so just b/c your son is bright does not mean he cannot have PDD-NOS. Also, b/c [b]Aspergers can only be diagnosed when kids are older (i.e around 6 years old)[/b], a lot of dev. pediatricians will give the PDD-NOS diagnosis when the kid is younger than 6, but it is more of a PDD-NOS/Aspergers like diagnosis: meaning they think the kid actually has Aspergers but since the kid is too young to be able to say that, they give him the PDD-NOS diagnosis. Maybe that's the case with your toddler especially since you are saying his problem is mainly social skills.[/quote] This is simply not true. My 4 yr old was diagnosed with Asperger's by a developmental pediatrician, Children's Hospital Autism Clinic and the school psych this year. [/quote]
