childhood disintergrative disorder

[Guest guest]

Has anyone's child been given a diagnoses of childhood disintegrative

disorder? My daughter's new developmental pediatrician indicated CDD.

From what I researched, when the child loses communication, social

skills, self-help skills, while developping stereotypical behaviors

after the age 2, it is CDD. What is the difference between regressive

autism???? I don't understand why they give two different names under

the same umbrella of PDD.

Our twins had that dx too. Its basically the same as regressive autism,

but it may make a difference in services. Find out which dx works

better for your child and the services or insurance coverage.

Hi I believe Doug Flutie's son has that label but they call it autism,

too. http://www.dougflutiejrfoundation.org/

I have heard of it. My child had a major developmental regression at

age 4, and our pedia hinted that this might be the case. We have

ruled our CDD as we have seen improvements in our child.

ly, I do not believe there is such a thing as CDD. I think it

is just another useless medical label that has a horrible tendency to

convince parents that there is nothing that can be done.
