Hello,my 4 year old recently had an evaluation at Childres Hospital of Pittsburgh for speech delays and challenging behavior by a psychologist and she recomended speech therapy wich we new because of his sever delay.He currently goes to private sp/ot 2x a week plus receives at school. Autism was mentioned but then dismissed because he will engage with ppl and had good joint attention skills hes always had these quirks about him and she mentioned a few in the dx such as dumping the toys putting them around the room but not playing with them. We still deal with this in the last 4/5 days he will bring all his little ppl, zoo animals stand them all up in the middle of the livingroom thats it wont play w/them and dont dare knock one over or were in for a melt down.(thats just one example)My question is whats the differance between PDD-NOS/Aspergers Autism and can the initial dx be wrong.if youve gotten this far thank you so much from a very confused and overwelmed mommy

hello and welcome,
First of all (((Hugs))) for what you are going through. It has been a few years since I was in the place that you are now, but I remember it well, and it was a terrifying place indeed. I hope you can draw some hope and comfort from this board, as I did several years ago.
