A Dead End!
So I finally get around to calling the specialist that the last counselor recommended. I explained that I wanted to have my son tested for Aspergers. The Dr & I seemed to be talking in circles around eachother & finally he had his assistant call me to set up an appointment for an evaluation for my son. Once I'm getting to talking to her, however, I find out that they do testing for mental illness & at-risk behaviors! (My son has his issues, but I don't think he's mentally ill or at risk.) And they do not test for Aspergers. So that ends that. So I emailed the counselor & told her what happened & asked for any other recommendation for an evaluator. In the meantime, I'll contact my son's pediatrician & see if there is someone in there office who can do this sort of thing. Argh! In the meantime, I think I'm going crazy. I'm feeling short-tempered, my quality of work isn't what it should be & my sleep really stinks. Pre-menopause, maybe? Who knows...!
