[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 175406, member: 1991"] Print out the test - it will print out with your results also. On each question there is another hot link, to the detailed explanation of how to exactly answer that question just right, and not over- or under-estimate your answer. I remember I was concerned that I might be choosing the category for my child too harshly, judging my kid as more disabled that he was. The explanations and careful definitions made it much easier. It also made it easier for me to really understand that I had not labelled my child as more handicapped tan he was. That way, if anyone accused me of fudging the results to get the answer i wanted, I felt confident that I hadn't done any such thing. Print the result and take it to the next doctor's appointment, see what the doctor says. I met a woman today who has a ten year old child with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosed, but what level Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) still being assessed. We were comparing notes. her son is in mainstream schooling and so far doing OK. He's also got ADHD signs but no medications, because he seems to be able to manage. It reminded me what a contrast that is for difficult child 3 - the medications were almost miraculous, in how they helped him. difficult child 3 started his medications at the age of 3, to deal with the ADHD that he has on top of the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (autism, in difficult child 3's case). We copped a lot of flak for "drugging our child" but the difference was so amazing, so much better, that very soon the only people being critical were people who didn't know him or hadn't seen him before the medications. I'm glad it looks like you're getting some solid answers at last. Now it's time to get this put to some practical use, and have someone help you with some practical supports. Dept of Ed should help with funding once you've got a diagnosis on apiece of paper to show them. You should be able to get some level of support for Early Intervention - check out the Special Education forum for more info. Marg [/QUOTE]
