Re: Finally got a refferal!

[Guest guest]

Congrats, Sara - I'm glad you were able to get the doctor to make the referral

for your son. Hoping that you get the information you need and that the process

itself doesn't take too long or become overwhelming. Just remember that you can

always vent in here ;-)

mom.... Really? I guess having someone else in the room made her want to do her

job. She gave us a refferal to a university. She said today she can really see

autism/aspergers symptoms in him. And thinks it would be a good idea to have an

autism specialist evaluate him further. His head is now caught up with his body

size. But he hasnt gained weight in 3 months. She did say she thinks his head

size just has to do with him being small. Hes 16 months and only 20 lbs. So

maybe he will be small like me. I feel like a weight has been lifted and hes

finally gonna see someone who knows what they are talking about.

Hang in there - you can do it. My two boys were 22 months apart and we had a

tough time b/c we did not know what was going on. You have a head start and

hopefully you have access to some additional support/help since you mentioned

your mother going to the docs office with you. You are stronger than you know,

Sara :-)

Oh gotcha...so maybe a bit more overwhelming right now, lol - Can you ask your

family for extra support in the beginning? Hoping you can...
