witsend Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Hi everyone - bursting to share the news - went to cons appt this morning and can't believe it but he has diagnosed son with Aspergers!! Didn't have to do battle or even get my list out! What a relief! Thought I would feel a bit down when we finally got diagnosis but actually at the moment am just feeling very relieved and slightly euphoric (I trust this will wear off shortly) it was just so unexpected to get diagnosis today - I had thought we would have to have a full day of assessments or something. Cons going to write to school and hopefully attend next statement review meeting! Thanks to all of you who have given me help and support through this site - you're fab! Am starting to ramble now - will turn into an oscar like acceptance speech if I go on much longer! LOL. Witsend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nellie Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Witsend, I'm so pleased your pleased... if you know what I mean! Thought I would feel a bit down when we finally got diagnosis but actually at the moment am just feeling very relieved and slightly euphoric (I trust this will wear off shortly) Yes, it often wears off quickly, at least you are prepared. It's a bit like a roller coaster ride. Nellie <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hectorshouse Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Hi witsend, I am pleased you managed to get a dx without any of the ho-hah that so many go through, it is a strange time after dx a mixture of relief and denial, but atleast now you will be able to move forward.

tizzmeclare Report post Posted July 2, 2005 p.s Witsend, To use the clickable smiles, just place the curser where you want one and click on the similie you want to use...like this ( in the text you were typing- where your curser was placed you will see text added in such as "" which is what appears for the smilie above) Hope that helps tizz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
