Angela: 

 Your post was very interesting. One of our foster daughters who was with us for 6 yrs & now living elsewhere is autistic on the severe end of the scale. My husband & I have noiticed some of the same tendiencies in my SWCAH daughter. She is not showing anywhere near the same level of autistic behavior as our other child but some similiar traits are happening only not as severe. I would like more info on  pdd-nos, do you know where I can find out more?

Thanks
