Bambi Report post Posted March 5, 2007 Hi everyone, dont know if this is in the right place and im sorry if i have put in wrong place. I am new to this site but not new to forums, i have 2 boys my eldest being nearly 14 & 6 yr old who has very difficult & challenging behaviour, i knew something was wrong when T (6yr old) was a baby in arms and when he was 4 i found out he was on the spectrum. Only now he is 6 and a half i have been for a 2nd opinion diagnosis and i have answers to his problems. We attended a specialist Autism centre last week and the results were PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome) Autistic behaviours and sensory problems, i was told he may get a diagnosis of PDD (Persuasive Developmental Delay) I will receive a very detailed report in 4-6 weeks, the centre advised me to join the forum PDA contact which i have found very informative. PDA i have never heard of until last week even tho i have done over 2 yrs of research on ASDs, T does fit most of the critieria for PDA along with strong autistic behaviours with major sensory difficulties and he doesnt sleep at night (he doesnt get why he needs to sleep!). So just a bit about our situation and im looking forward to chatting to u all Bambi x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
