Autism Spectrum Disorder Pdd
What is the difference between high functioning autism, PDD-NOS and SID?
My son is 3 1 / 2 years, can say about 300 words and can put 3 word sentences together. He is very active, outgoing children .. full of energy. He has some sensory problems, he hates himself brushed his hair cut, washed his face, nails / fingernails. It is not clean .. we have difficulties there. I hear all the time on autism and the spectrum .. but how do they determine the difference between a child who is high functioning autism, a child who has pervasive developmental disorder – not otherwise specified (showing signs of autism is not sufficient for diagnosis) or if the child has sensory integration disorder … which can affect speech also. Dr. determined that it is developmentally delayed. Speech, fine motor and problem-solving. What the problem area for the three diseases.
The lines are fuzzy at best. Sensory integration is a component of the DSA, but you can have sensory problems and does not have an ASD. Most children in particular, his age characteristics ASD have a sensory component. children have better social skills than PDD.NOS those HFA. Children with HFA are more impaired than PDD.NOS. Problem solving at this age would find something hidden or partially hidden when asked, puzzles, idk. This assessment questionnaire that I love. http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html my son now 2 score of 51 and 68. The 51 is my 7 years old when he was young this score was much higher. My 3 when he was 9 months PDD.NOS dx his score was 49, I hope that now he will start improving. When you are on the spectrum is not static, it usually improves after the peak at the age of 2-3. Significant for DP is a 49.
