I guess I'm glad we got the Dx we did, because a) it matches what I really thought was going on, and b) given his home school actually has an aspie programme, I suspect getting the very clear dual diagnosis will get him what he needs without the kind of insanity some people get mired in.
Yes. Plus, you can use the real words for his differences, so that by the time he's an adolescent he's comfortable with them. It is very good to know early on.
Some of the stuff they offered us sounds like it might actually HELP... which is a bit... shocking. After all the strait-from-the-baby-books shit that doesn't work and that the gov't pours down people's throats in our area.
You already knew you were off the map; now you know a little more closely why, which helps a lot. You will make your own map.
It is terrific, absolutely terrific, that they are offering relevant services. Tremendous-- this gives you a leg up that will last a long time.
