Appleblossom, just wanted to chime in that although things have majorly improved for us, it is still incredibly exhausting. Our house is definitely set up for parkour. :-). And a trampoline is a necessity in our tv room.
I'm glad you have a school that is fitting. That is really great. We're pretty much planning to homeschool. The unschoolers groups have been a good fit for us for the most part, although there are a few parents who don't appreciate that our son has interests they deem too academic. That has more to do with their own issues. For the most part the groups and kids have been welcoming and the parents are accepting of the intensity and self driven decision making. The older kids have been great for our son.
We are thinking of waiting until at least age 6 for the WISC to have DS tested. Our main motivator is access to programs like DYS.
