Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 well atuism and pdd are pretty much the same, I think the autism dx is more sever type of autistic behavior, and the pdd is in the middle somewhere, and then the charateristics are more towards skimming the top, but i could be way off,many of our kids all with any one of theses dx behaviors really range, maybe its just the doc. nathan use to have dx of autism, then a couple years ago, they changed it to pdd, so go figure? > PPd > > > Hi list.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 > Hi list. What is ppd and how does it differ from austism? Do you mean PDD? PPD is Postpartum depression, and I'm pretty sure none of our kids are going through that. PDD is Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and is a form of autism. Autism is really a wide spectrum with a lot of variation within it. PDD can be a milder version of what we think of as classic autism -- combined with the Down syndrome, this kind of autism has less effect on communication skills and eye contact, that kind of thing, though there are several children among those on this list that have communication problems as well. There's such a wide variety, I doubt you'd find two kids with the same problems. I'm no expert on autism, but I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 well pdd just means pervasive developmental disorder, but its a form of autism in there somwhere, and is always mentioned right along with autism in books etc. I think there is just a different degree of the types of autistic behaviors which are hard to catergorize together in children who are all very different too. I often think of pdd being somewhere in the middle of the autism spectrum, and the autistic charateristics towards the top skimming the behaviors, and then ofcourse autism being full force of it all, but all our kids behaviors are in different ranges with any of these dx's so it may just depend on the doc. If they have a special room for pdd, and a different one for autism there may be a little difference in some of the teaching, but not much that i can imagine as all these kids have their own IEP's. shawna >From: Dunning <Strider3@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: PPd >Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2001 17:07:32 -0700 (PDT) > > > > >This is going to be stupid.
