[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 227792"] I'm hoping that her diagnosis does get tweaked. I've been thinking Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum for a few years. I was hoping the neuropsychologist evaluation would have given more. It gave a lot, but then not at the same time. If that makes any sense. If she had an NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) diagnosis, it would get her services. But, she has 'characteristics'. She has 'characteristics' of a lot of things and no one can really seem to nail it down. Personally, I think she's on the spectrum. To be honest, I just want the services in the areas that I see on a daily basis that she struggles with. It's so frustrating how hard it is to get that. Why is it so hard to say, we need help with X,Y,Z and they can't seem to do that without a diagnosis? We're not talking medications, just interventions and therapies. One of the biggest reasons that traditional therapy hasn't worked is because she doesn't know how to explain herself. She has this amazing vocabulary, but she doesn't have 'feeling words' as one therapist put it. So, if she can't recognize it and she can't explain it, how is regular therapy going to help? Ok. Just venting. We were talking tonight and I said I just needed some encouragement. difficult child said she doesn't know how to do that. And she really doesn't. I explained to her what kind of things you could say to someone to show encouragment. Then she told me that she can say, "Thank you", and "I'm sorry", and that when she feels bad for people, she doesn't know how to show it. [/QUOTE]
