I guess I should pop in and give you all an update.

R had his Stanford Binet testing last tuesday. We got the report this week. I didnt realise exactly what the testing was looking for but now that I do I feel we wasted our time. Basically its to measure learning ability. The outcome was that he has high average intelligence; so he isnt learning delayed (we already knew that). The assessor said she didnt feel ASD was on the cards as a reason why he is what he is because a) he meets your gaze, b) he understands humour and c) he has no learning difficulty. So from what I gather ASD kids are antisocial and stupid with no sense of humour (Im still trying to figure out how that works for EVERY kid with ASD?). She did query looking into SPD, APD and ADHD (which are things we already have on our possibility list).

So $400 later we're still at square one. Our speechie convinced me to try one more paediatrician to see if we can get a preliminary diagnosis of something and go from there. Im getting tired of caring now, and running back and forth between different paed's and psych's and the like throwing money we dont have at them to be told what he ISNT, instead of what he IS.
