Autism spectrum disorder has other categories, which can be referred to as Pervasive Developmental Disorders. This content looks like it’s closely at and discusses three of them. Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified, also known as PDD-NOS. Autistic Pdd
This is a condition that is a lot more like classic autism than Asperger’s because the patient actually has symptoms in all three areas of the spectrum – behavioral, social, and communicative. However, they the symptoms are not severe enough for a full autism diagnosis. As a result, you know that it is not autism, but you don’t know what else it is. This is what accounts for the NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) suffix of the name of the disorder. Autistic Pdd
Rett’s Syndrome is a condition like autism as well, but one that affects only girls. Also, in addition to the classic autism symptoms that the sufferer experiences, there are also characteristic jerky hand movements, loss of motor and language skills, and seizures. Eventually, the patient may die as a result of irregular breathing, which suggests that this condition is a bit more severe than classic autistic disorder. Autistic Pdd
Also, there is the Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, or CDD. When you suffer from classic autism, you likely have it from infancy, but when it is CDD, you may have lived a normal life for two to four years before anyone even has a clue. You should know that the prognosis for CDD is worse than for high functioning autism because it also involves, in addition to the basic symptoms, loss of toilet use, self-care, and language.

Hello…my 3 1/2 year old daughter has Rett Syndrome. Luckily she doesn't have scoliosis yet. From other parents I have talked to, surgery for scoliosis is somewhat common but I think its mostly done when it is affecting their ability to breathe. The other 2 surgeries I have never heard of being done on girls with RS. My daughter has problems with her ankles that we brace. If there is tightening I have heard of parents trying botox with good results. But sleep apnea is pretty common in RS I think also…yet I have never heard of tonsils being taken out. You have to be VERY careful with surgeries because girls with RS have difficulties with pneunomia, the anesthesia, recovery, and seizures tend to increase with the pain from it. Are you on the Rettnet? If not, that is your best source of answers because it is a huge community of parents, therapists, Drs, etc. That is who you should be asking those questions.
