Hi Larie,

I have an almost 4-year old (next week!) DS with PDD-NOS.

I would go to the dev. ped w/ a clean slate. Not tell him about any diagnosis (make him work for his $$)! Just tell him your concerns about your son's development and whatever therapies he is currently getting. He will do a complete evaluation, prob. including a brief neurological exam (this is my experience).

Good luck!

Cathy
