PDD-NOS and social skills

Post Reply New Topic

What does Wikipedia mean that it is common for most like me with PDD-NOS to have more intact social skills and a lower level of intellectual deficit than individuals with other PDDs?


Wikipedia said that you can have PDD-NOS and intact social skills and lower Intellectual defect than individuals with other PDDs.

PDD-NOS is diagnosed when you don't have enough symptoms or your symptoms aren't severe enough to meet the criteria for autism. It the US and other countries that use the DSM-5, PDD-NOS is now considered part of ASD. It's the mildest end of the spectrum.

Thank you!
