[quote=Anonymous]Not full blown ASD but PDD.  DS was 5. Very social, super popular at school but had impulse control issues as well as attention.  Also wasn't good with personal space...i.e., keeping his hands to himself was challenging for him.

Tester said he was a "mystery" in that they couldn't get a clear read on too much with regards to IQ and some other components of the neuro-psych eval - so he slapped on the label of ADHD/Inattentive type at risk for reading and math disorder.  and one teenie tiny line in the 40 page report that said PDD.  We were shocked, I mean floored!! ADHD yes,, but not PDD.

I took that report to Kennedy Krieger to one of their developmental peds who basically laughed at the notion that DS was anywhere on the spectrum.

My gut told me to trust the developmental pediatrician at Hopkins over the psych who did none NONE of the testing. he farmed it out to another person who did all the testing and she basically gave him "her results" to interpret.

He's in Chevy Chase BTW...in case any of you are considering using him.  total joke and waste of money. [/quote]
