What is not otherwise specified by PDD?
PDD is no otherwise specified sign for the ubiquitous developmental disorder that is not otherwise specified. This disorder is on the autistic spectrum, which means that it is in a category with a number of conditions marked with delay in such development areas such as language, motor skills and cognitive ability. The diagnosis of PDD, which is not otherwise specified, is given when doctors cannot find a clear cause of developmental delays. In such a case, the person is usually diagnosed with the ubiquitous developmental disorder that is not otherwise specified.
In order to understand that PDD is not otherwise specified, one must understand the autistic spectrum, a category of complex disorders that affect the functioning of human brain. When a person has an autism spectrum disorder, serious developmental problems usually appear in early childhood. Symptoms differ because there are different disorders rather than just one state on the autistic spectrum. Often, howeverIntroduction in terms of development of language, social development and behavior. PDD, which is not otherwise specified, is only one failure on the autistic spectrum.
It is interesting that autistic spectrum disorders such as PDD do not always affect human intelligence. While some individuals with autism spectrum disorders may have lower than average intelligence, many of them are not. Many people with autistic spectrum disorders actually have a higher than normal level of intelligence. Despite the fact that a PDD person may have a high level of intelligence, he may still have difficulty communicating with others or involved in social situations.
Some of the most common symptoms of PDD include problems with speaking or understanding language. A person with this condition may also be difficult to relate not only to other people, but also inanimate subjects and events or activities. An individual with a PDD that is not otherwise specificn, may have difficulty solving changes in his routine or even traveling to unknown places. Sometimes a person with a PDD who is not otherwise specified shows signs of disorders by playing with toys in an unusual way or manifesting repeating behavior.
A PDD person who is not otherwise specified usually has some of the symptoms of an autism spectrum disorder, but there is not enough of these symptoms to diagnose a specific disorder. PDD often develops than a person is three years old and is not curable. Sometimes doctors prescribe drugs to treat behavior problems in a person who has no otherwise PDD. It may prove useful therapy, including educational therapy.
