PDD-NOS is a developmental disorder on the autistic spectrum. Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified. It's kinda the catch all for those who fit somewhere on the autistic spectrum but don't quite "fit" in any given category. Cameron is high functioning, yet has socialization issues. He doesn't make the best of decisions as he has problems understanding cause and effect. He's in a specialized program for school as he can't keep up with the speed of an average classroom, but given time he understands the work. Numbers and music are his calling, I guess they use the same part of the brain? Reading, writing and language is very difficult for him. He's been involved with speech therapy, occupational thereapy, physicial therapy and behavioural therapy for years. It helps but it's draining on him but he's very determined. And yes, he's a very special boy and I'm glad I'm his mommy. It's been the honor of a lifetime to watch him grow..

". . .there is a world of difference between compliance and commitment. The committed person brings an energy, passion, and excitement that cannot be generated if you are only compliant, even genuinely compliant. The committed person doesn't play by the 'rules of the game.' He is responsible for the game. If the rules of the game stand in the way of achieving the vision, he will find ways to change the rules. A group of people truly committed to a common vision is an awesome force. They can accomplish the seemingly impossible."
