Diagnosis

We finally have an official diagnosis from Hope Haven Children's Clinic. We have been in this process since January. It's good news but also somewhat sad news. There is now an official piece of paper stating my son has Autism Spectrum Disorder. However, this doesn't change who he is. This doesn't limit us. It is hard as parents for us to sit in a meeting and hear how our child isn't like typical children. However, this helps us move forward.  Now that we have a diagnosis we can get ABA therapy for him and also apply for services at the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. More great news...the developmental pediatrician's office finally called me this week. John has appointment in November with the developmental pediatrician/neurologist. We can ask some more questions then and see if they have help they can offer too.
