For both your guest from Autism Speaks and Mary Claire, the caller:
Please check out the work of David Feinstein PhD and his wife, the well-known teacher and practitioner of Energy Medicine.
Regardless of what legislatures and institutions do, there are things that any patient can do - or any parent - namely, Energy Medicine. Simple and accessible - they can tell you the results they've had. Their three book titles are Energy Medicine, Energy Medicine for Women and The Promise of Energy Psychology. David Feinstein taught in the psychiatry dept. of Johns Hopkins med school - I am sure they would be glad to help you via their website, Innersource.net. (The site map there might have autism case studies. It's a different approach - lots in common with Yoga and Acupuncture)
All the best to you
PPD-NOS actually stands for Pervasive Development Disorder—Not Otherwise Specified. The "NOS" tag appears throughout the DSM attached to many different disorders.
A minor point:
NOS means "not otherwise specified" as a category in DSM or other coding scheme
not "no other symptoms"
