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]

Daniel Pelka

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................ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Susiedarling (talk • contribs) 20:37, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Child abuse has nothing to do with Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, which incidently ceased to be a clinical diagnosis May 2013 (DSM5 re defining Autism). A further problem is that your contribution is not supported by a secondary research journal source which is required for wikipedia medical articles. You may be better advised to make your contribution to a more general article regarding the Daniel Pelka case. Childhood Disintegrative Disorder applied to children of age 4 years of age plus who experienced a form of regression which results in atypical autistic attributes, Daniel Pelka was not old enough to experience Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Hopefully you will understand why your contribution will be deleted again. dolfrog (talk) 22:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Implications of DSM5 may 2013

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 revise how Autism and the related disorders are defined and diagnosed. The PDD-NOS category was discontinued which included Childhood Disintegrative Disorde, which will be part of the wider age considerations regarding regression in the revised diagnosis of Autism. This as been well described in Volkmar FR, Reichow B, McPartland J (2012). "Classification of autism and related conditions: progress, challenges, and opportunities". Dialogues Clin Neurosci. 14 (3): 229–37. PMC 3513678. PMID 23226949. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) In recent weeks I have compiled a PubMed collection of Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD) which can now only be of historical value dolfrog (talk) 23:07, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Question: Has this disorder ever been known to affect adults?

Late onset of developmental delays?

The first paragraph says that PDD is "characterized by late onset of developmental delays." I am a clinical psychologist and I don't know what this means. How can a developmental delay be late? Please reword. This is confusing at best. --1000Faces (talk) 02:41, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

is http://yamo.iliensale.com/ reliable?

I wanted to source the statement "Treatment of CDD involves both behavior therapy, environmental therapy and medications." It was copied and pasted from Can disintegrative disorder be cured? (iliensale.com). Is this website a reliable source? It seems to be a website in which you can ask questions, but I was suspicious of its reliability. Edit: I found another source Samnaderi (talk) 19:45, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source 4 is self-referential

The source titled What does childhood disintegrative disorder mean? (definitions.net) links to a collection of definitions. The text provided cites Wikipedia as the source. What does childhood disintegrative disorder mean? (definitions.net) should be removed as a source entirely. I would, but I can't figure out how to delete a reference.
