THE DIAGNOSIS
Jul 31 2008
So today was it.  Dr. Maller diagnosed G with Autism not otherwise specified.  She said that he has high functioning autsim.  I guess that is the positive that we have to focus on.  Tommorrow we meet with the school district to discuss his IEP.  But they don't know about the diagnosis so that out to be interesting.  Everyone has been on the fence for so long that it's almost a relief to know one way or the other.  Now we can focus on getting the best therapy for G and move forward with our lives.  I feel ok now-kinda numb.  We'll see what happends...
