Autism Diagnosis??

The neurologist/psychologist diagnosed my daughter with Autism. I told him I wasn't sure I agreed with this diagnosis. He stated that she was high functioning and probably borderline but could definitely benefit from ABA therapy. And the only way to receive ABA therapy through insurance is to have a diagnosis of autism.

I went into see the doctor to diagnose her with maybe anxiety or some behavioral issues? I don't know what I was expecting but I am just really not satisfied with this diagnosis. I dunno if I am in denial or if my mother's intuition is correct.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????

He had us put on the waiting list to have formal testing done. However, it is a year waiting list! And it will end up going to our deductible so I am not sure how we would pay for this? So I got with the school to have her tested there. Shorter waiting list and no out of pocket money!


Meanwhile as I am writing this.....my girl is in melt down city again! She got upset cause her sister put strawberries on her strawberry shortcake, instead of on the side. So she screamed, cried, and threw it in the trash. Before I could even get onto her for screaming in her sister's face or throwing perfectly good food away she ran to her room to cry and peed all over herself.

UGH I dunno

MARGARITA TIME!
