When people hear that my son (now 8) was diagnosed with Autism/Autism spectrum disorder (PDD) they at first do not believe it. It isn't until you spend some time with my son that you start to notice the difference between him and an average 8 yr old. In alot of ways he is where he should be and in alot of ways (mostly social) he is behind his 5yr old sibling. IT is frustrating as it makes it harder to find him help/assistance and causes social problems in school and with other children.

My son was diagnosed with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) at 3yrs old we have had trouble assisting him with functioning social in school (he is now 8) as there is very little on this. Where can we go to get assistance for him ?
