My son is 30 montsh old and he was dx with PDD NOS, from em and my wife' s observation he has delay in speech

and delay in social. Other developments are up to date, I am still constantly worried about what would be the chance he will be able to attend normal school. He is currently received ST, OT, SE from Early intervention team. I was wonderfing what else that we can do to help him to outgrow the problem. Any advices appreciate,, I was thinking about biomedical test and treatment but not sure whether it will help him or not.. any sueestions.

thanks in advanceMy son is 30 montsh old and he was dx with PDD NOS, from em and my wife' s observation he has delay in speech
If you haven't done it yet, have his blood tested for heavy metals, and get a food sensitivity test done. If heavy metals are present, there are natural treatments, or medical chelation. You may need to take him off gluten and casein.



Find a DAN! doctor if your ped. gives you a hard time about the tests. (and they probably will...)



My son was also diagnosed as PDD at 2.5- he's six now, beautiful and brilliant, in a speech delay class, and due to be mainstreamed next year.



Good luck- and see if your library has a copy of "Children with Starving Brains" by Jaquelyn McCandless, M.D.

Talk with your son's doctor. Ask their opinion.My son is 30 montsh old and he was dx with PDD NOS, from em and my wife' s observation he has delay in speech
try to get him into as many social things as possible, around other children his own age like day care, swimming lessons and so on.
Wow, you and your wife need to be congratulated on catching that so early and getting your son the help he needs! It's unusual to get a diagnosis at such an early age, but the sooner the better. Our son was diagnosed with an ASD, but didn't start displaying symptoms until age 2 and we were able to start ST and OT by age 3. We didn't get a concrete diagnosis until age 5, but we were already on the right track.



He has always attended public school and has been on Honor Roll since 4th grade (he's now in 8th). We had an incredible school district and suport group. I would start now asking questions of your school district about how they handle students with this type of diagnosis and what programs they offer.



I, too, hope that my child would outgrow his problems and prayed for that "miracle cure". I read about the link between mercury poisoning from vaccinations and autism, and had a chelating agent administered to see if high levels of mercury were in his system, to no avail.



Unfortunately, our children will never "outgrow" their problems, there is no cure (to date). They are who they are, and fortunately they have parents who love and care for them and will make sure they get everything they need to grow into healthy, productive adults. Check your local yellow pages to see if there are support groups for parents of children with your son's diagnosis. I understand how heartbreaking it is to receive such a diagnosis and my prayers are with you and your wife.My son is 30 montsh old and he was dx with PDD NOS, from em and my wife' s observation he has delay in speech
i hate to break it to you but, my 5 yr old at 2 was diagnosed with pdd. she is in a normal kindergarten class, but when he turns 3 you can get him into a preschool classroom called an "ECD" classroom. it a classroom with teachers that specialize with it. they also have what they call roll model children. it's the best thing in the world for kids like that. my daughter was 3.5 before she talked and 4.5 before she was fully potty trained. try to get him all that you can get him. if you need more suggestions email me at reenie18@hotmail.com
