We have one more day...one more day until we get a diagnosis of autism or not for Leah. I have butterflies in my stomach, tears in my eyes, tingles down my arms and legs, but am ready to know what lies ahead for our family and for our girl.
We've been to U of M for two days of evaluations this week and have been very impressed with the professionalism and the treatment of our family and our little Leah. It's been such a thorough evaluation that whatever the results, I will have full faith that all information has been taken into account to make a fully informed diagnosis or other recommendation.
Many have asked, "So what do you hope to gain with a diagnosis of autism or not???" Simply, access to services, access to appropriate therapies, and parent and family education. What is more important than understanding of your child than to help them achieve their greatest potential???? :)
We'll be sure to keep you updated...after we head up north to the cottage for the weekend! First things first!
