I would love to hear your opinions....

Well I just recieved a phone call, totaly out of the blue from the pychologist. As we are moving out of the area in 3 weeks she called me, paperwork will follow. I have been battling the system for 4 years and she has just told me that she will be giving my dd 6 a dx of asd. I have mixed emotions but am kind of releieved if that makes any sense. Im not mad and ive not been seeing things for 6 years it is actualy real.
Now to tell dh.... Oh and my mum?..

Sorry please excuse my spellings! Am on my phone.

What do I do now?

make a huge mug of tea and breathe

where is DH? has he been party to all the assessments etc?

and breathe some more

have you got a friend you can call, just to let our your initial feelings if DH or your DM aren't people you want to do that too?

and here's a {{hug}} when we got DDs dx, i was in shock for days.

Thank you for your replies.
So I thought we would get some support now I guess that is wishfull thinking!. I will wait for the paper work so I can take it in properly.
We are moving and I just dont know what to look for in a new school, it will still be ms. I want to make the right choice as the school shes at now has totaly failed her.
Dh works away, is back tonight and so ive ordered a bottle of wine!! Hes been to a couple of appointment, to keep me happy I think he was just hoping that they would find nothing and I would have my mind put a rest, never to mention it again. But I dont know how to tell him, ive not a clue how hr will react

Same as polter, tears of relief and vindication....but don't be surprised if some STILL need convincing!!

Definitely a chocolate and wine night.

And if DH is still in denial, glug all the wine then make use of the bottle.

Ha love the wine idea!! Needed to laugh!!
Do u know the people on here are great, u give good advise. Thanks, no one else gets it.

and a DD you say - that's a celebration in itself, you've had someone 'get it' in a girl

Unchartered - yes and shes only just turned 6. I think it was the salt assessment lady. She was good, she only met dd twice but she told me things no one else had said before, she saw things at school aswell. Pychologist said she masks it well, so im guessing salt lady has seen issues!o
Also im an ot assistant so I saw sensory stuff in dd. Im going to ask for ot referal I hope they give her one and dont assume I know it all as I dont!
