As you all know the trip to Bibic was an amazing time for my whole family.
For all of you that have known me for the year+ I have been on mumsnet will know just how much of a rollercoaster we have been on. We have asd/adhd/not asd/not adhd. Just didn't know whether I was coming or going (as you all know as I turned to you lot for support) and it took so much out of me. It wasn't so much the actual dx itself but the is she/isn't she? feeling that was actually tearing me apart. I'd be like that's an auti triat/oh that's adhd, just scrutinising everything that she did and it wasn't fair on her or me, any of us really.
So when I spoke to Bibic today and they told me the results of the CARS test (and they were very thorough, took about 2 days I believe as they really wanted to get it right) was that she wasn't even mildly autistic or even borderline. She came out in the normal range which I am obviously pleased about as I think deep down I always knew it but had so many different people telling me there opinion it clouded my judgement of what I was really thinking.
Dd still does have quite significant social/communication difficulties and I know we have a rocky road ahead whatever they call it so nothing has changed in that respect, just I know which direction we are heading.
I wanted to say thanks to all of you who have given me advice and still will give me advice.
I have met some lovely people on here, real true friends and I wanted to say I am sorry if I have sounded like a stuck record. I bet you have all breathed a sigh of relief too. Thanks again for listening, it really means a lot. Blossom xxxxxxxxxxxxx
