Hi ladies! Rather than remake the whole thread I had before I figured I can just jump on in here until we have a dx.

I think I am really having one of those breakdown moments though. Every tiny cute thing that bunny does, I am questioning it! We used to giggle that she was a complete fashionista. She only likes pink and white clothes, and whenever we go shopping, she adds another fuzzy soft faux fur piece of clothing to her wardrobe. Now I am wondering if it is a sensory thing. Its only soft subtle pinks - nothing bright and gaudy. And the fuzzy clothes are all so soft, but she loves them to pieces. For the record, she picks her own clothes. We hold it up and she either pushes it away or grabs it and puts it on her lap.

We went to the shopping centre in Lismore today, stopped for lunch, and she is sat in the food court with her hands over her ears. She is only a 5th percentile baby, so very small, and she is making milestones fine and does the cutest things. I feel like such a cow questioning all her actions now. =( Thinking its just the paranoia setting in.

Princess seems to be doing better. I had to speak to the DoE about Chilly the other day because the enrolment process was dragging on into the ridiculous (6 weeks!!!) and I needed someone to light a fire under their backsides. While we were on the phone we spoke at lengths about princess as well and the lady said while it is not ideal, we can use the botched IQ test to get immediate assistance pending her dx. She implied the mild intellectual disability result from the test can get us a bucket load of help and will be updated to ASD (if she is ASD) when the full raft of testing is finished.

So ladies... should I do it? Should I use this test that I know is a complete joke? I am concerned because I don't want to risk labeling princess as intellectually disabled if she isn't, iykwim... The idea of getting her immediate help is so appealing though. Ugh! Why do I always get stuck with the crappy decisions???
