[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 339223, member: 8831"] beth---its tongue in cheek. she's got one foot firmly planted on the spectum. in 10 years, we've never had a conclusive diagnosis--any of the specialists she's seen have all had differing opinions on the subject. (school personnel, various therapists, 4 psychiatrists, 1 neuro, 1 neuropsychologist, various pediatrician's incl. developmental peds, and so on). for a very long time, the question has been, "what we we have done differently?" with the formal label, and the answer is nothing. the label wouldnt have changed a thing (like, she wouldnt have better services, or a different approach or anything like that--i instinctively HAD all appropriate interventions in place, regardless of what diagnosis she was) she would be one of the "better identified", and the kind of kid that has change the autism numbers in my state from 1:150 to 1:108... the one thing we all DO agree on is that its not her main problem right now, and that we need to stablize the mood disorder to sort out what "spectrum" issues are still impacting her, and deal accordingly. and yes, she's slated for neuropsychologist testing--i had to cancel when she came undone...probably [I]next month[/I].....and, depending on what that testing shows, its the end of the line. she either is, or isnt on the spectrum, period. but if she isn't, so help me, i never want to hear another word about it--the days of "maybes" are long over for her.
