Learning from others

Lately I have been reading a lot of other mom's blogs about their children with PDD-NOS and I am addicted. Most of the blogs begin back in 2005 and their child is about at the age that Kassidy is now so I am picking up so much info. Some of what I have learned is: most PDD children love the water, don't sleep well, script for conversation (repeat shows or songs while playing or talking with others), love playing on the computer, hate wearing clothes (at least most of the girls), stimm, are highly intelligent academically and most of all, are the pride and joy of their parents lives. A lot of the time they can add humor to the equation too - last night Kassidy (who is 7) told me as she was falling asleep that she was too tired to sleep. That's our girl!
