I know that feeling all to well.

It's kinda like, today is the day you get answers that are going to impact the rest of your life and your child's life. It shouldn't feel like that but it does. :) Today is the day you get direction.

I'm kinda waiting with baited breath, my oldest I've just been told is on the spectrum. I'm now waiting for that final meeting and the lengthy report that will hopefully put everything into perspective. It's silly really, because I have always suspected but until that clarification I have felt like well maybe and then again maybe not, so I've been tense not being sure, for a long long time.

Good luck I hope you get all the answers and direction you need to move forward. :)

Good luck. It's great to get answers, and the "wrong" planet is a pretty cool place to live. :)

We were officially diagnosed yesterday with Asperger's Syndrome! Now we have a direction. We told our son because he was already verbalizing he was different than his peers and we figured we could now put a name on it for him and give him some peace of mind that although things are hard we now have a direction and some ideas to help him out! It was like a WOW! when we told him and it did seem to bring him some peace! THanks everyone!
