I've recently recieved his official assessment and let me tell you...I'm confussed more now than ever before.
Diagnostic Assessment
Axis I
299.80 Asperger's Disorder.
314.01 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder,Combined Type
307.21 Transient Tics Disorder, Recurrent
Axis IV
Stressors are social situations
Axis V
Current GAF is 55
Is there a Dr in the house? Damn, if I had to go over everything that is listed in this assessment I'ld be here forever...thank god we go back to the Dr on Tuesday.
I love my boy very much...he's really a good kid. I guess the hardest thing for a parent is to look at a child and wonder what we could have done to spot things earlier in life.For now the hardest thing for me to do is to acknowlege the fact that it's looking more and more as if I need to file for disabilty for the boy.
Me think it's finally time to join up with other parents of Asperger children. I want to thank my wife, who is not the mother of my kids, for all of her support,love and understanding, when it comes to my kids..I love ya Deb...you've helped me get thru this more than you'll ever know. I thought that after raising my boys alone for 13 years, I'ld never be able to find anyone willing to stand by my side...and you've been there with me from the day we met.
