My son Jacob is 5 years old and we are almost 2 years into our journey with Autism Spectrum disorders. As of right now, some believe him to have Asperger's syndrome. Some believe PDD-NOS. And there are some who believe it is ADHD. Whatever his diagnosis is right now, we have found help in the Autism community of care.
I believe it is most important to focus on helping my son in the areas that he struggles, and it doesn't matter so much what his label is on paper. What matters is that there are treatments and resources that are benefitting him, and that he is growing stronger emotionally, communicating more effectively and functioning appropriately in the world. Isn't that what every parent wants for their child, whether they have a developmental delay or not?
My prayer is that the information you find here will help you and your child in their journey with autism spectrum disorders. I will share websites, books, resources and treatments that we have personally benefitted from.
