| PDD pervasive developmental disorders |
| Finally an answer! Peyton had some testing done today and was observed. They are very sure that she suffers from PDD. She had an IQ test done today. Most of the areas she was tested on she was borderline to big delays. Then she surprised and astounded us all when she scored higher then her age group in Object Assembly. So we make a joke that Peyton is a savant. Peyton was able to assemble puzzle that children in her own age group would not have been able to assembly. Overall her scores follow. Verbal 14% Gross Language 18% and Perferomance 82% and Total her Percentalie to her age was 45%. Her overall IQ is 98. They think Peyton suffers from Sensory Overload where little things that most of us handle with no problem stress her out so much they cause a meltdown. They also believe she is color blind. Michael is red green and blue green colorblind. While it is very unsual to see a female colorblind they think that she just might be. They said if Peyton had been tested at an earlier age they would of marked her as being Severely Austism. They are excited and amazed by the strides Peyton has made in her own development. They said Michael and I must be doing a very good job with being able to balance her delays to her learning. In March Peyton will do more testing to find out her Sensory problems and then we will have all the tests done and the doctor will give us a answer and a list of treatments that might help her. So I am so excited and proud that Peyton has done so well and that she is continuing to do well of course we will never be able to overcome all her delays but we can learn how to help her learn and grow with her delays. |

It always makes you feel more in control when you have a name for the problem and an idea of what to do about it. I'm glad you guys are doing so well making progress despite the limitations.
