Pervasive Developmental Disorders,or PDD, are a range of disorders in which young children display delays in skills, especially social skills. Autism falls into this category, as does Asperger's syndrome and Rett's syndrome.
PDD, not otherwise specified as autism, is caused by an unknown source. Although, researchers are doing their best to find out. Some studies suggest that it is caused by problems in the nervous system.
Asperger's syndrome, autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD), pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDDNOS), and Rett's syndrome.
Asperger's syndrome, autistic disorder, and childhood disintegrative disorder are four to five times more common in boys, and Rett's syndrome has been diagnosed primarily in girls.
Asberger's disorder
Yes pervasive developmental disorder genetic. Try to keep away from it it is a very bad disorder.
The #1 complication of Pervasive developmental disorder is that people with it have trouble making friends because they can't relate to other people, and don't have very much social skills.
PDD is an acronym for pervasive developmental disability, which is a description of a type of developmental disorder. It means the same as autism spectrum disorder. It encompasses five conditions: autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and PDD-Not Otherwise Specified. See the related question below "What are autism spectrum disorders?" for more details.
Rule out means that the doctor has examined/assessed/interviewd the patient, evaluated all the diagnositic studies and ruled out everything related to the patients complaints and findings. The doctor has done this; so he (ruled out) R/O Pervasive Developmental Disorder-NOS.
Common symptoms of PDD can include difficulties with social skills, communication issues, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Other symptoms can include delayed language development, difficulty with changes in routine, and sensory sensitivities. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Including but not limited to: Autism (ASD), Asperger's Syndrome, Kanner's Syndorome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PPD), and Rhett's Syndrome.
Developmental needs are something which we grow up with. For example, a young child may be diagnosed with Autism from an early age. This is a developmental disorder as the child developes through life with this disorder. As the child gets older, the disorder may get worse. Some developmental needs may be needed for that child to live a happy life with the disorder.
ANSWER: PDD or Pervasive Developmental Disorder is actually a bit of a misnomer. Many doctors who would not like to commit to giving a diagnosis of Autism will tell the parents that their child has PDD or PDD NOS. ANSWER: PDD-NOS stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified. PDD is another name for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Some doctors use PDD when they mean PDD-NOS. Some doctors use PDD as what it is - a set of disorders. PDD is not a diagnosis; it is a description of a category of developmental disorders. PDD-NOS is a diagnosis. It describes a condition that has the characteristics of a pervasive developmental disorder, but does not fit the criteria for one of the other PDDs. Sometimes, doctors will use the diagnosis of PDD-NOS when it is apparent that the child has a pervasive developmental disorder, but the exact one cannot yet be determined - perhaps because the child is too young to identify certain symptoms, or the disorder is not severe enough to differentiate from the others yet, or comorbid conditions are making it difficult to differentiate among the disorders. Some doctors prefer not to give a diagnosis of autism until they feel absolutely sure that it is autism, so they diagnose the child with PDD-NOS until they are certain.
Not fully. However, professionals are making great strides towards understanding it. It is already known to be an autism-spectrum disorder and pervasive developmental disorder, but its exact causes are still unknown, and it still cannot be "cured."
Autism is not a sickness. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. It is a condition with a genetic component that affects the way the brain works.
Pervasive Development Disorder
There is one type of autism. However, there are multiple types of pervasive developmental disorders, of which autism is one. The pervasive developmental disorders, also known as autism spectrum disorders, include five disorders that affect social and communication skills as well as motor and language skills. The five disorders are: Classic Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Persuasive Developmental Disorder (PDD-NOS), Rett's Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder.
