I finally have a diagnosis!

After having to wait 6 months.... it's Asperger's. I'm so relieved, to finally know and to finally get the eval done! Anyone else out there feel that way when they found out?

Yep.
Same here.
I am thinking today about how some of my family members may feel depressed and upset at the news... I am also wondering how helpful/willing the school will be in making accomodations for my son. Last year and this year they've concentrated so much on making my son 'fit in' and be like the rest of the kids - they say they don't want him to feel too 'different'. I think he may already be aware that he is....
I have been thinking my son was on the spectrum for about two years now....so I am relieved to find out that I'm not a bad parent, that what we've been dealing with is 'real' - just like you did. : )
Guess there is more work ahead of me - getting resources in place, etc. But at least I've got the dx!!!
We also got some other test results yesterday. We had the WISC IV and KTEA II done. It shows our son as 'above normal to gifted' in reading and 'above normal to exceptional' in math. For written language, he is in the 55th percentile. There were some other areas where he was really high or really low. It all averages out to an IQ right in the middle. Is this something anyone else has seen??? It makes sense to me that my son struggles with writing - he was delayed in fine and gross motor skills.
I also wanted to say that you ladies on this board have been so helpful this year. I don't post much, but I get so much out of everyone else's posts! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Yes, I did have mostly that feeling since I was pretty sure it was AS we were dealing with.
