When we finally received the diagnosis of PDD-NOS for our son, we thought "this is it! Let's get him the help he needs!"
Yeah, that didn't happen.
What followed was the onslaught of information about what that diagnosis meant, what services may or may not be available, and ultimately what wasn't relevant to our situation.
What we learned early on is that what worked for other kids on the spectrum, may not work for ours. Yet we kept on searching for more information, more understanding.
You see, just having a diagnosis is just the beginning. It's easy to get too far ahead in terms of what you'd have to look into, what next steps you have to take - and what steps you don't need to worry about. The hunt for more information had just begun.
How we handled all of that information, and what we did to address it, changed.
