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.

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.

Yes, pervasive developmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, have a genetic component. Research has shown that individuals with a family history of autism or related conditions are at an increased risk of developing these disorders. However, genetics are just one factor, and environmental influences also play a role in the development of pervasive developmental disorders.
