jlp Report post Posted July 10, 2006 My son (6 with AS) is thought to have this by his consultant and she's mentioned it in a recent report - no-ones ever said what we do about it though! Personally with my son I can maybe see traits but it doesn't match 100% I started to look on the internet and ended up overwhelmed so decided to stick with dealing with him the way we do now (AS style) http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=306&a=3352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westie Report post Posted July 12, 2006 My seven year old is diagnosed with PDA, we had assessment at The Elizabeth Newson centre recently. If you want to talk about anything specific please PM me. The PDA forum is also a help though its much quieter than this forum.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
