[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you elaborate on the repetitive behaviors? We are in the middle of a multi-faceted evalutation for my 5 year old, and I am anticipating a diagnosis of PDD NOS, because although he seems to have most characteristics of Asp., it's just not quite enough, I think.  He has the obsessions, but I don't think he has the repetitive behaviors.  He used spin things before he was 2 yrs old., but he has no "stim" behaviors now.  [/quote]

19:13 again:  Our son started out with a PDD NOS, "Asperger's-like" diagnosis at 3 yrs old and recently received at 5 yrs old an AS diagnosis.  His repetitive behaviors are body movements.  Besides walking on his toes most of the time in a springy type motion, he has a complex hand gesture he does, finger posturing and facial grimacing.  He also looks at people from the side of his eyes.  Besides his subject of interest, e.g. universe/space (he never obsessed about objects like doors or switches) and is obsessed with ordering and categorizing things.  At this time adults think he is "quirky" and kids are starting to think he is weird but he does interact with a kid that shares his interest.  [/quote]
