Does my child haveAsperger's
My 6 year old hates to were clothes she says her pants feel tight and like there are bees in them and her coat feels like needles are poking her she will only were sweat pants and t-shirts with no tag and she sill talks like a 2 year old she says "me go out side" and she uses him and her instead of he and she like "him put that there" instead of he put it there and she often says her ears hurt when the other kids are playing she says its to loud
I am not a specialist but.....
Clinicians I've encountered use PDD-NOS differently and it can be really frustrating
PDD-NOS could be Dx'd when there is impairment in all three areas but one or all areas are not impaired "enough" to warrant the actual diagnosis. In this case you may have less stereotypical behaviours I guess......or less agression.
In other cases with PDD-NOS two of the three areas will be impacted moderately or severely
Yesterday we saw a pediatric neuro that said that she only diagnosed PDD in children with serious impairments (no speech, poor muscle tone, etc) so she felt "autistic features" or "atypical personality development" did not fall into this category.
PDD-NOS almost always will have speech delay, while Aspergers does not
Both PDD-NOS and Aspergers as well as autism are on autism spectru
My child's pediatrician said that my child does not look like ASD child at all....But he is. Especially when he is at school. You can call in Sensory Integration Disorder if you like. But thing is, simliar interventions are most likely to be helpful - targeted to better organization of environment.
I think label matters as long as it gets you appropriate resources. Treatments will be different from child to child...I say call it all "atypical personality development" and be done with it. May save our healthcare system some money

She sounds more like she has an autism (Pdd-NOS) diagnosis than aspergers. She is exhibiting many sensory issues. Has she been evaluated yet?
