He is getting the biological treatment and they don't believe he is getting better this is the main reasonHi! my son was diagnosed with PDD_Nos now they want him to take the ADOS test any experience to share ?
The ADOS is a play-based assessment tool that looks at social skills, conversation and play skills. It is not a "right or wrong" kind of test, but will help assess the level of severity of his symptoms. It has nothing to do with "getting better" or "biological treatments..." although I have to admit I'm not sure what you mean by "biological." In any case, the ADOS is nothing to be afraid of.Hi! my son was diagnosed with PDD_Nos now they want him to take the ADOS test any experience to share ?
Why would he get better with biological "treatments?"



PDD-NOS, as I hope you know, means he has some significant areas that score high for Autism Spectrum Disorder, but not high enough in all areas to constitute an Autism diagnosis.



All forms of Pervasive Developmental Disorders are lifelong, and there are no known causes (except for Retts), and if no one knows a cause for something, how can it be treated?



Your best bet is to STOP trying to fix him. Do the ADOS; That evaluates for Autism. No matter what label he gets, he still will be on the autism spectrum. There's nothing wrong with him. Work with him, work on HIS level, help him to learn his limits, help him learn how to survive in a world built for neurotypicals, not autistics. Most of all, love him, and let him be a child.
