PDD-NOS

For a year, I've been walking around trying to get resolution and there was none available. I find it fascinating that I go to a Pediatric Neurologist to get answers to my questions and his response to me is to send my son for further testing, yet when I speak with the test center, the said neurologist has actually made a preliminary diagnosis which he didn't feel the need to share with me.

I swear that being a parent is the hardest job out there. There is no rule or guide book and you simply have to go with your gut, but I'm glad I did, because finally I feel like I'm about to get some resolution.

My munchkin has been diagonsed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - None Specific with a Receptive Speech Disorder. While he's not autistic, he has the characteristics of an autistic learner. He actually already knows the curriculum for kindergarten but yet he can't hold a simple conversation with an adult or peer. Thankfully I've been a bull hound and he's now goign to be in a special program that will cater to his special needs so that he can join his peer group by the time he gets to Kindergarten.

I'm relieved to the poitn where I feel exhuasted. I no longer have to wage this battle, I can now sit and work with him on makign the most of himself like a normal parent.

Thank God.
