[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 380886, member: 1550"] I have a son who was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and in my opinion medications aren't very helpful. Stimulants made my son mean and aggressive and he's not like that. My son benefitted from a smaller class for half the day with an aid the rest of the day. He is 17 now and mianstramed, which would never have happened if he hadn't started out in Special Education. He never had any behavior problems in school (or home, really...not after age five), but he had an intolerance to crowds and loud noise. The smaller class really helped him and he got tons of attention. Now he is able to go class to class alone with no aid like the other kids. He is a junior in high school. While he is still on the autism spectrum and will need some help as an adult, he has really come a long way. He also made friends and is accepted at his school. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
