| Chronos, thanks for the reminder of the DSM criteria. Of note, at first I didn't realize that my older son with classic autism met all of the required criteria and thought that he must be PDD-NOS. I didn't realize that his hand flapping qualified as a symptom. I used to think that my younger son on... |

| Same problem here, with my Kinder, and she has more than one issue. I asked for an IEP and did get a 504 (I was very pushy). A 504 contains accommodations like visual prompts and sensory diet and safe places to calm down. My daughter is doing well academically ("no academic need for services" is wh... |

| A Shih-Tzu is by no means an intelligent dog, but my daughter loves my brother's. She asked for a dog for months, and we ended up getting a part Border Collie, part something else from a shelter. She's an absolutely awesome dog that's a good mix of gentle and energetic (She can jump pretty high to c... |

| Also, like I said, I do have mixed feelings about all of this. I mean, the report was actually pretty positive and she seems to be doing great,which is wonderful. I just don't want her to slip through the cracks, that's all. I'm just being jumpy. I'll continue to work on all the social stuff like I ... |

| I was hoping for speech services (pragmatic), and that we could set up any needed accomodations before kinder...for example, if she needed a place to go for her sensory needs. |

| Well, even though the diagnostician, educational psychologist, and the SLP agree with my daughter's diagnosis of pdd-nos, they do not feel she has an educational need for services. She doesn't even qualify for speech. The SLP said they oberved her on two separate days in the classroom, each for long... |

It's been hard to come by nowadays, and it's nice to find a this community of people who get understand. :) When he said that, I was extremely angry and shouted back, "My child has autism!" as a way of summing up what DW_A_Mom was talking about...how this wasn't ... |

| I am a parent of a adorable little five year old girl who was recently diagnosed with PDD-NOS. She had a 30 minute meltdown today when she didn’t make a soccer goal (in a soccer skills class, not a team). She was crying and running away from me. I went to her and she’d run the other way. I tried ign... |

| I would never recommend lying. But instead of bluntly saying that you have no good memories of her dying mother, you could have been a bit more vague. You could tell her you are really sorry about what she is going through right now, that you appreciate the invite, but are not sure if you will be a... |

She kept asking because most people will tell the person they don't have any money (even if they do) because they don't want to give some druggy their money...or they don't want to get mugged for more money..,or get into a conversation with them on why they are not going to giv... |

| Examining the ADOS report further, it seems to me that her pretend play and social reciprocity during pretend play were considered to be major factors against ASD. From this forum, my understanding is that many children with ASD do engage in pretend play. Pretend play is a task-positive activity. I... |
