Update on Cian's eval

Well, dh and I met with the psychologist today and turns out his son is also autistic/bipolar.....Yeeee hawwww! We gave him what he wanted in terms of oral history and on the 15th he will meet with Cian to "play" and get to know eac hother. Once we've done that he's recommended a full psychological eval.....dear sweet God....he gets us, he gets this. I'm not expecting miracles, but it would be nice to give the schools a real piece of paper with a real dx and not just "significant developmental delays"....their words, not mine. I suspect a pdd-nos dx is coming, but hey it beats the alternative.ie:nothing.

No matter what we'll get a full work up, IQ scores etc and have a better idea of what makes my lil' man tick. Oh I I still am having a divil' of a time finding a preschool for Cian part time, and no, the district refuse to give him spec ed preschool, as he's "too social" and "too bright..." grrrr

Well at least we are getting somewhere on this.

Dee,


So, finally going a step in the right direction! That's good to hear. And don't worry about the PDD-NOS dx, if that's what

Ah hijack away girl, lol. We went back to the private preschool Cian was at last year. They are awesome...although way expensive. They get him, have small class sizes and I love their attitude. They will even allow him into the pre-k room being non-potty trained....loooove them. (Thaey plan not to tell the State, lol)

Actually I would relish a pdd dx...anything right now would be better than where he is, kwim?

Dia Duit Dee,
You're telling me I have a lot on my plate, mother of holy God your plate is pretty full yourself!I hope everything goes okay with the eval for Cian and hopefully you'll get some answers. I know I was in limbo with Ella for a long time and although it's never easy to hear someone say out loud all the things you've been worrying about justify a dx of some sort, it does bring some kind of relief just to know.
Go n-eiri leat,
(Good Luck)
