PDD-NOS

DS has a diagnosis (PDD-NOS). I am broken. I will get over the shock and figure out how to navigate IEPs and insurance covered therapies, but right now I am reeling.

((Hugs)) make sure you let yourself go through the grieving process. I know 8 months after diagnosis I am still going through it to some extent. My son had PDD-NOS as well. We are here for any questions you have!

Take as much time as you need to process things. We are here if you need to "talk."

It will get better. We're more than 2 years post-diagnosis. I'm in a much better place now than I was initially, that is for sure (though admittedly, there have been some big ups and downs in the meantime). Some days are fantastic, and others, I feel my grief strongly. I suspect it may always be like this- but it is bearable. It helped me a lot to be on this board with other moms who "get it".

I just want to give you a hug.

My DS has PDD-NOS a year ago but we updated to autism spectrum disorder recently.

We really are a great board with great support and advice! We are in this together and we will be here when you need us.

I hear you.  We got a pdd-nos dx about 2 years ago - I even saw it coming a mile away and was still floored it actually happened.  Not a great day.  It took me a solid year to get to acceptance.

Hang in there.
