So that's the official dx for now. We have a follow up in 6 months to check his development. Honestly this was the dx I was expecting. It is a relief to finally have some answers. The pedi also put us on a list for a social skills class put on by the OT.
The reason he gave him that dx and not Autism is due to the fact that he has eye contact (mostly with me or other family members - not to strangers), shows me items of interest, and is affectionate. In all other areas, he showed signs/symptoms of Autism. So basically they give the PDD-NOS dx when they meet most or have significant issues in other areas of Autism but don't fully meet all the criteria.
