That word would be Aspergers.
difficult child had an appointment with the therapist this afternoon and at the end of the appointment I was speaking with her alone. I was asking for receipts so that I can submit them to my insurance. She asked what the previous diagnosis's were and I told her general anxiety disorder and ODD, but that I felt that we were missing something. We don't have all the pieces to the puzzle. I told her that I've questioned if he falls on the autism spectrum. I told her that I've questioned whether were dealing with an emerging personality disorder. She looked at me and said, "You've asked if he falls on the spectrum? Because I see alot of Aspergers traits in him."
I do know that the psychiatrist said he wanted to speak to her, but I don't know if they ever got in touch with each other. I forgot to ask her. If not, I want her to tell him exactly what she told me, because I've questioned him about whether difficult child falls on the spectrum and he said absolutely not.
I'm not really sure what my next move is, but I feel like I'm one step closer to getting answers.
