[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote] [/quote] [/quote] [/quote] Some kids who would formerly be considered PDD-NOS would not be on the spectrum (ASD) since they tried to make the criteria more coherent. PDD-NOS was kind of a hodgepodge. [b]But if your daughter has issues, there should be a diagnosis out there for her to get her the help she needs[/b]. It may be 'just' DCD or that plus something else. Maybe ASD, maybe something else. [/quote] I wholeheartedly agree. Don't get too hung up on the retired PDD-NOS diagnosis. It meant autism-lite to some and delayed but not autistic to others. We got a MERLD and PDD-NOS diagnosis when my kid was 3. We did a neuropsychological evaluation at age 6 and was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia. These fall into the "Specific Learning Disorder." Did the different names change the kind of help my kid needed? Nope![/quote]
