Hi,

thanks to those of you who posted the childbrain dev assessment thing. Do a lot of Dr's use that by any chance? I filled it out and her score came back at 35 - suggest No PDD, I did it again and changed some of the answers to make her seem a little more 'severe' than she is - still came back NO PDD, with a score of 41
should I bring it with me to the appt with the dev ped so I don't ahev to answer these questins all over again?? or would that just make me look like a nut-job , lol

When I went to the dev. ped I printed out the DSM VI criteria for autism and related disorders (you can find it easily, I think it's also on the Childbrain site) and put down "yes" or "know" for each item.

HTH,
Cathy

thanks. I did that one too - she only has one on the entire survey - - delay in speech. I don't know -when I do these things, they always come back normal. Something has to be not quite right with her though - she does not understand everything we say and she has been slow to talk. Oh well, hopefully I will know soon enough!

thanks again
