Autism Spectrum

We took Nehemiah to the psychologist. After our first visit I asked if there was some thing up with him or if we were just being weird. She said no, that he either has Asperger's or high functioning autism. Next week we have his I.Q test. That will take two hours. We also are going to have a long meeting with her to answer a bunch of questions. Its going to be a long process.

Right now I'm just so happy to be finally getting this taken care of. I'm sure later on I'll be upset. I know I've been upset about it before. As a parent you don't expect your child to have any thing wrong with them. You imagine your baby will grow and have friends and be happy and healthy. He is happy and healthy. He just doesn't get a lot of things and I'd like to be able to help him with that. Some times its frustrating because he also needs to have surgery to fix his ear. That will take a long time and be many many surgeries. So here this kids has some thing on the autism spectrum and he has to go through years worth of painful surgeries to fix his ear. Its rough for us knowing what he is going to have to endure. I don't like that.
