Testing for DS1

[Vanquisher]

Hugs, honey. Keep fighting. I know you will, but we're in your corner.

Hugs to you.

I don't understand all the insurance stress, but haggling over providers and what not is exactly not what you need! I hope that all works out to your favor.

Hang in there!!! And try to keep in mind that while there is probably no pill one can take to "fix it", there are methods and techniques. Information about our kids' neurological processes if power! Great to have as a parent and to help advocate, as well.

Testing for DS1

Finally got paperwork for insurance company to prove that option #2 won't see him. 😄 Why would I lie? It would certainly make our lives easier... I digress.

All testing with our private practice physician is complete - results and discussion on Oct 14th.

Ped neurologist from option #2 today: "I would be surprised if it's ASD, but he should be seen for the language issue."
I would love that, man.

In a nutshell: DS1 has problems with attention and impulse control, which magnify a delay in logic/reasoning/comprehension. He is testing a year behind.
He qualifies for language therapy, and may need an IEP advocate for tests in the future.

We are to implement logic games and questioning, as well as wear him the heck out physically every single day.

We meet with the school in 2 weeks, and I have several pots in the fire to get an eval done for communicative disorders. Battle with insurance continues, and we have paid out of pocket for it all.

I am relieved, and very tired at the same time.

This sounds a lot like K1's diagnosis. Did they mention SPD?

Praying for you guys. That's a lot to process. I know you can handle it, but I'm sorry you're having to.

You are a warrior.

You are doing great! Big hugs and good thoughts.

[OrionGrad]

I agree you're doing great.

I'm just curious, what's the reason for wearing him out each day?

The impulse control/inattention is basically ADHD. Physical activity will help him with motor skills as well as "help" him focus by getting rid of excess energy.

Today is the meeting with the school district and its team. If possible, I want to keep him in his current school and bring him here for services (which they are, by state law, mandated to give me). Finally on the waitlist officially for private ST and OT. As per usual, I am going alone (and DS2 is with me), but I feel empowered. I believe there will also be talk of implementing an IEP for him, starting next year, which I think would greatly help.

I am okay!
