Re: help please! any ideas?-Judith

Hi Judith,

Thanks. I have researched pdd and that is also something i've been

thinking of. the last one I read says it is like an umbrella over

the autism spectrum, it is very hard to get a doc or at least, our

doc to look outside the classic. he dismissed it due to eye contact

and his impression from a couple 20 minute meetings and how I

answered a classic autism rating scale (which i don't believe was

made for his type of situation). he hasn't seen the whole picture.

his teacher called today and has gotten even more concerned and

without the right help he is not going to be able to make it in

school. without a diagnosis, i don't know how to get the right

help.

good luck to you with . his phones sound so much like skye's

keys, he always needed to know what they went to from relatives to

cashiers and beyond.
