Hi there, I am new to all of this.
We are in Canada, and my 6 year old son, "A" was just (Thursday) DX with PDD-NOS.
We always knew there was something different, and I was thinking Asperger's, but he is about two years behind in his mind (mind of a 4 year old).
I really don't know where to start, I am so overwhelmed right now.
I have been crying for help for him for YEARS, but he was given a DX of ADHD, OCD, Anxiety disorder, and Sensory Integration Disorder, and I was told he would "get better" with Medication.
(Incase anyone isn't aware, Canada's health care SUCKS!). He didn't get better.
I really need help, and I need to know what to do next. My head is spinning (mostly from "A" LOL, but spinning from trying to figure out what to do for him).

Can anyone point me in the right direction, and tell me what groups I should join, and any hints on what I should do now?

TIA!!
