In case you ever have to know:
ASD : Autism Spectrum Disorder (which contains five variations)
PDD: Pervasive Developmental Disorder (which is one of the variations in the Austism Spectrum; often called "Autism.")
PDD-NOS: Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (this is a subgroup of PDD, and means that the child does not qualify for the full diagnosis of autism, but the child is autistic-like, and still falls somewhere in the autism spectrum because they exhibit some of the symptoms)
ECI: Early Childhood Intervention (State agency authorized to support families with children with disabilities or developmental delays. This program help kids from birth to three years of age. ECI Program for Texas)
PPCD: Preschool Program for Children with Disabilites (this is a program offered through the school district that helps kids with disabilities from 3-5 years old. Cy-Fair ISD Special Education Services)
ABR Test: Auditory Brainstem Response (hearing test that is conducted while your child is sedated.)
This isn't even the tip of the iceberg. It's at least 100 miles away from the tip of the iceberg.
