PDD-Nos Resources
PDD-Nos is on the autism spectrum. My youngest son was diagnosed before he turned 2 years old. This site is a collection of tips, resources and educational materials that have helped in my son's progress. I hope you find the information helpful.
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).

Educational Resources That Have Brought Drastic Results
Results are not always the same for each child, but the following DVDs have brought drastic improvements in his progress.
- 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.
My Autistic Son's YouTube Video: An Ode to Fred Figglehorn
My son is fascinated with Fred's videos. He's memorized them, so my daughter decided to create a video that resembled Fred's. Enjoy.
