Medication for any PDD is controversial at best, and indications are that it may be damaging to the child. "Quack" cures are a blanket statement with no useful specificity for parents with kids with this condition. Not suprisingly, this was added by an anonymous editor. --Leifern 20:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is a mention under 'Medication' that anticonvulsives may be used to treat seizures caused by the disorder, but seizures don't actually seem to appear on the list of symptoms. What gives? -Toptomcat (talk) 05:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dupe article

See the history for Child disintegrative disorder. This is offtopic, but I hardly ever newpage patrol, and I saw that article like three days before WLU mentioned it in a totally unrelated talk page. What are the odds?

(Well actually the odds are probably pretty good when you consider I've edited ~4,000 different articles and factor in the birthday effect. But it was cool.) <eleland/talkedits> 05:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above comments are hard to follow, as they include personal comments that don't advance the subject discussion, and use jargon. Does "Dupe article" mean duplicate article? I'm not a fan of social media style in an encyclopedia improvement discussion. Anyway, it would help if the article stated how common the disorder is statistically, to augment the word "rare". I couldn't find a number/rate (1 in ???) in my cursory research. Myheck (talk) 20:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)--Myheck (talk) 20:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am having trouble learning how to reference one of the sources of my edit.Can someone please assist to move the reference to its correct location.I could also add further sources if needed or desired. I tried to add that piece to my tiny addition to the page warning about how it can be mistaken for child abuse,probably particularly at early stages of investigations.Thank you-Susiedarling................
