I'm glad you posted this--I have read everything I've come across but still am confused about this issue. Our DD9 has been suggested to have a variety of things but if you actually look at whether she meets the criteria (and several psychologists have basically said that they're more guidelines/a concept than criteria per se (despite what it actually says in the DSM)) I think PDD-NOS would be correct. But after reading the James Webb Misdiagnosis book and some popular articles (e.g., about scientists/ mathematicians and how many of them are not 'normal' in terms of behavior) I really wonder whether this isn't part of the current trend to diagnose anyone who isn't within a very narrow range of NT behavior. On the other hand, I actually met a PG kid last year and also our nephew (now in high school) both seem completely NT to me. So I think it can happen
