PDD-Nos Resources That Helped My Autistic Son's Progress
PDD-Nos is on the autism spectrum. My youngest son was diagnosed with autism specifically PDD-Nos after he turned 2 years old. This site is a collection of tips, PDD-Nos resources
What is PDD-Nos?
At the age of 2, my youngest of 7 kids was diagnosed with PDD-Nos (on the autism spectrum). This started my journey into learning what this condition is. I started a blog to document his progress and to reach out to others dealing with a diagnosis. Due to his evaluations, doctor's appointments and other responsibilities, I lost my employment. Everything happens for a reason. Soon after, I became employed in an Early Intervention agency which helped me learn about the services available in Orange County, NY. I hope you find this information helpful. If you wish to contact me, you can do so by leaving a comment or using the contact form (for anonymity).
- Autism: The Thief
- Autism is a thief that tries to rob our children of their potential. This post is about my feeling on autism.
- Coming to Terms With Splinter Skills
- Splinter skills in autistic children can be amazing. Realizing that my son had some unusual abilities were a little hard to deal with. Here's a little something I wrote about it. Feel free to comment on the blog or below in the comments.
- Mischief or Misunderstanding
- Sometimes being a parent means deciphering behavior. In this case, there was a purpose to his mischief and a great surprise too!
- Autism: Reading Before Talking
- Shocked to learn my son could read first sight words even though he couldn't speak.

Educational Resources That Have Brought Drastic Results
These Products have Helped My Autistic Son Improve His Speech and Communication
Results are not always the same for each child, but the following DVDs have brought drastic improvements in his speech.
- Signing Time Sign Langauge DVDs
- I purchased these DVDs for my son. After a week, his teacher sent me a letter. She wanted to know what I was doing at home because he was having an explosion of sign language and his communication skills had drastically improved. I tell everyone about these DVDs because it's one of the best educational tools I've found.
- Baby BumbleBee DVDs
- This is another set of DVDs I purchased for my son. He loved it and watched them repeatedly. I bought the entire series. He learned his alpahabet combined with phonics. He learned how to see a group of items and know the amount without having to count from one. The videos teach colors, opposites and have a vocabulary builder.

- Thank you for the wonderful lens. With 2 sons on the spectrum, I know how difficult it can be to deal with and live with autism. I did my own lens on it too.

- Merry Christmas to both you and your son! Early Intervention was a LIFESAVER with my own son. Aside from a bit of quirkiness and being VERY uncomfortable around groups of people or people he does not know well, you wouldn't even know. God bless you for the work you do!

- I wonder if I am an non-diagnosed autistic adult? Descriptions of the condition remind me so much of my inner world as a child. As a child, I knew things but couldn't express them- actually, it wasn't even that I couldn't but there was an emotional block to experiencing external reactions. ie- I didn't like the gaga boboo baby talk, I could 'see' the adult world beyond the facade used to interact with me- I was like Baby Stewie on the Family Guy. Constantly misinterpreted as needing something that I wasn't even thinking about. Not sure if any of that makes sense? There we go- that's the block right there. Love to you and your son- he's perfect.

- My granddaughter, who is seven, is autistic. She has lived with us (grandma and grandpa)since she was two. Autism is a very hard illness to diagnose and even harder to deal with. We have read and listened to a million, or so it seems, cures and helpful remedies. We enjoy every bit of information that surfaces about autism. We thought maybe some of the readers here would be interested in this book we found. Just copy and paste this into your web browser: http://1b867mur19cym4darc3gpwwhb6.hop.clickbank.net/

- Thanks for writing this lens. My son, who is now 13, was diagnosed PDD-Nos years ago, but it took forever before I could get an answer. Out of the resources you have listed above, I highly recommend The Out-of-Sync Child and the Out-of-Sync Child has fun. They were recommended to me by my son's occupational therapist years ago.
