Tigger is now officially autistic.
The school was doing his triennial evaluation and we had an outside clinic do the autism testing.
Outside clinic: Autism and ADHD-Hyper/Impulsive
Occupational Therapist (OT): significant sensory issues
Pysch: normal IQ and very low academic skills
Teacher: low academic skills
Speech: screening showed language and articulation problems, full results n/a yet
Tigger is going to stay in his current placement. We are just hoping that the team will be able to design a strong program and goals for him so that one day he can return to a less restrictive environment.
Tig is still being treated for early onset bipolar and has been referred to the pediatric neurologist (again) for more testing.
As I told my mother in law, none of this changes who Tigger is. It just hopefully gives us a roadmap to a better future.
