So we just got home from Matilda's ADOS assessment and it hhowed she has low functioning Asperger's. Its funny, years of searching for answers... asking questions, getting information from reading and other parents.... all this work. The testing was done today and the psychologist is convinced Matilda has low functioning Asperger's. She said she's not necessarily sure if the results will show low functioning Asperger's or high functioning Autism, but she is leaning towards the low functioning Asperger's.

I was really really norti and gave her a glass of apple juice on our way to the assessment I know it sets her off, but she was having such a good morning, and I was worried that we'd get there & she's be a perfect well behaved child. ( Maz, glad you gave me the hint too!) We also stopped by a Coles to just make sure she wasn't going too well. So she may have gotten high functioning Asperger's if her mind wasn't so scrambled....

I'm relieved strangely enough.... I didn't want a label for a while there, but the behaviour has been so atrocious... it will be good to have some help financially.
