A diagnosis! and a question....

[Guest guest]

I have been here on the list, answering a few questions here and there, and kind of lurking as well On Tuesday we finally received as close to a diagnosis as I have received so far: "Most likely on the Autism Spectrum with sensory integration problems". I guess I can consider this a diagnosis right? Anyway, did any of ya'll feel totally sad when you received the diagnosis, even though you were already aware of your child's most likely being on the spectrum????? I have been depressed the last few days.....

The other question I had was whether or not anyone had ever had the school tell them that even though their child may be autistic or aspie, that there was a possibility of them not having educational needs??? I am fighting with the school district right now, I have finally got them to remit to the fact that there is an issue, but they still say they can't help her because she doesn't have educational needs.... I am SO frustrated right now!
