She will accept PDD as his diagnosis

Isn't PDD just the dumbest diagnosis? (Pervasive Developmental Disorder.) Essentially, it says "We know there is a problem but we don't know what it is."
Useless, IMHO.

Yes, IMO it's too broad. It's like saying, "you have cancer" but not being able to tell where it is. I think some of the more denying parents (like my friend) may utilize it as comparison to PDD-NOS, but IMO the two are different. Well, I gotta split. Caitlin has speech in a bit:)
