I know that when Harper was born, finding support and advice from other parents going thru the same thing was a godsend. I really don't know what I would have done without it. My feelings at the time of her birth and how I feel about her injury now are so different and it's nice being on the other side of it now.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834664883144610733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173501795612719181.post-33119117549044892072008-02-04T13:00:00.000-05:002008-02-04T13:00:00.000-05:00I was completely freaked out by PDDNOS as I'd neve...I was completely freaked out by PDDNOS as I'd never even heard of it. I didn't like the autism label much either, although I had heard of that. Now we've added so many more additional labels, most of which I can't even spell, that I've just put the whole lot on the back burner.<BR/><BR/>They're just who they are, irresistible.....well to me anyway.<BR/><BR/>What a jolly good egg you are.<BR/>Best wishes as alwaysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173501795612719181.post-89843518247263522802008-02-03T11:41:00.000-05:002008-02-03T11:41:00.000-05:00I think it's great that you can help the newbies. ...I think it's great that you can help the newbies.

It looks more like that every day. Again, just semantics as far as I am concerned, bubs is just bubs to me now. But it took a while for me to realize this.Essential Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866745245853822324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173501795612719181.post-30998642923581668102008-02-02T20:09:00.000-05:002008-02-02T20:09:00.000-05:00I'm glad that you can help others, too.It took me ...I'm glad that you can help others, too.<BR/><BR/>It took me until Miss M was almost 6 to accept the PDD NOS label.

I thought that if it wasn't called autism, then it wasn't autism. Plus in new york,at least on L.I., it didn't make any difference for services. I would have paid someone large sums of money to tell me bubs was not on the spectrum, at least in the beginning. A year later I wouldn't have believed them if they told me that. Now it doesn't matter to me what it's called, but it took me a while to get there. <BR/>Pdd-nos is really a strange diagnosis, and it's very very confusing. It's way easier to just say asd and leave it at that.Essential Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866745245853822324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173501795612719181.post-86443475903531485122008-02-02T14:23:00.000-05:002008-02-02T14:23:00.000-05:00That is interesting that you clung to the PDDNOS d...That is interesting that you clung to the PDDNOS diagnosis. I was upset when a neurologist insisted we have that diagnosis when I wanted the Autism diagnosis. This was a long long time ago. But, I do remember being upset. For me it meant even less understanding to be found in our public school system with the PDDNOS diagnosis. I just kind of felt like it was a catch all. Funny looking back how these things would upset me so. But, at the same time I was trying so hard to get a school situation to work and nothing would.Marla https://www.blogger.com/profile/03926898159751613267noreply@blogger.com
