my son is 3 1/2 yrs old and was diagnosed with PDD. PDD or pervasive developmental disorder is a behavioral disorder of speech, communication, social interaction, and repetitive type compulsive behavior. Autism is a form of PDD.

Now that you have a diagnosis it means you can focus on making sure she gets the best therapy to meet her developmental needs. That's how I see it with my child :) My son currently goes to special needs preschool(EI preschool) and receives all his therapy there with children who have different developmental needs.
