Hi the official meeting isn't for another week or so, but due to timing of other deadlines, comm paed has confirmed that we will be getting ASD dx for our little man. Statement process is underway and he already receives DLA etc so nothing immediately that we need to do, just let it sink in. I will prob go downhill in next day or so, but for now a cloud of uncertainty has lifted. I have lots of ideas for the way forward but just going to let them float around a bit longer in my head. Big thank you to everyone on here, I have gained so much knowledge and understanding which I wouldn't get elsewhere in rl. I regularly name change in case anyone in rl is sad or nosey enough to follow my story. Been through so much the last few years and although a diagnosis changes not much really, it changes me.

(()) Take care of yourself.
I was expecting dx's for DS1 and 2, but it was still numbing to have them confirmed, and that small glimmer of hope I had removed.

You need to change your name now, don't you? Perhaps 'survivedthefight'? Take care.

Thanks Lougle. Sadly, the nickname refers to the school side of things :-/
I already have name changed. Glad about the diagnosis though, I think it helps me more than anyone. As far as I can see, he is the same as yesterday ;-)

Of course he is. DX's are for the people who are (supposed to be) supporting him. And us. DS getting a dx was the best thing possible for me because it gave me the confidence to stick up for his needs. But it didn't change him.

Anyway, take it easy for a wee bit, no matter how much you were expecting it it is hard ((hugs))

Hope you are ok, Fighting - honk to you and your DS
