| My son Dylan also has PDD and when I first fo and out I cried and cried because before he was diagnosised all I ever knew about Autism was the Rainman movie. But that was 2yrs ago and he gets speech and really has came a long way. Does your son talk? I don't know if you ever really get over your child getting diagnosised with Autism or PDD but I just have hope that one they will find a Cure. But just know that your not alone and I be here to talk if you need to. ↑ |
Since my son was diagnosised everyone has been telling me to get in a chat room and learn from other parents so I'm hoping that's what I'll find.
My son is 3yrs old and about 3 weeks ago we also got the PDD diagnosis. I'm in the process of changing just about everything in my families life to help my son. The stresses of it all seems very overwhelming, but when he smiles or laughs I try to smile too and think this is the same little boy I've always loved and no label is going to change that. I'm going to do everything I can to help my little boy. I still can cry at the drop of a hat, trying to figure out what it all means and worrying if I'm mentally up for this challenge and to adapt our lives to best help Riley. I think the most overwhelming part is not only educating yourself but you family as well, you'll need support and a break now and then. ↑ |

| Riley is our first child, we moved my son from a home babysitter to daycare full time because we thought he need more education and to interact with other kids more .He couldn't adjust or adapt to the environment at all. There was 16 other 3yrs olds in his classroom and he wouldn't do anything with the group. He often ran out of the classroom many times during the day. He just wanted to be alone. Wouldnt' let anyone sing or dance or even read to him. The meltdowns were happening multiple times during the day. He also loves to repeat things constantly. Once I took him to a drive thru and ordered a small orange drink. Now instead of asking me for a drink he will come to me and say I want orange small. It's been a long while since we have been to the drive thru and he says it daily because that's how he understands to ask for a drink. Daycare asked that we have him evaluated and that's how we got the news that he has pdd. Since getting his diagonis I have taken a leave of abscense from my job and will be staying home with him this summer, in the fall he starts a special program with school. ↑ |
