Tomorrow (Friday 3/12) a team is coming out from Perth to do Brendan's assessment.

I'm not nervous about it, fully prepared for what the day might through my way. Tomorrow is just another day in our life but the outcome could mean an easier year next year for Brendan. As much as I don't want him to be diagnosed, fact is without it he doesn't get a whole lot of help. I had been told that Brendan will get an aide for school next year regardless of what the outcome of tomorrow's assessment is, however a few days ago the school rings to tell me that he will only get one if he has a diagnosis.... devastated doesn't quite some up my feelings. I have fought so hard to get Brendan to where he is, I have fought so hard to get them (therapists etc) to listen and now it might just fall apart anyway!

All along I've been told that having a diagnosis doesn't matter he will still get help he needs. He needs an aide, he needs someone to sit by and tell him in his language how to do things, when to do things and he needs to be constantly reminded to go to the toilet. He needs someone to keep his sensory input up so that he can even function properly. I wish that Sensory Processing Disorder was recognised....

Why can't things be a little easier I'm so drained from fighting things all the time!

Anyway, just thought I'd update for those interested. Will let you know how it goes later tomorrow
