Congrats, Shelly! That's really exciting.

I understand about being sad about your ds missing things ... but the thing is, would he really *like* kindergarten? My ds just didn't enjoy kindergarten; he didn't want or need the typical K experience.

Just remember -- you're doing what you do, for your ds. Not for numbers. If you think he'd be happy in K, what about saving a grade skip for the next year, since a one-year skip probably won't be enough anyway?

I remember the overwhelmed feeling, even though I was somewhat prepared for it. I think the most important thing someone told me was that ds was the same as he was before I had test results -- nothing had changed about *him.* We just had harder information about why he was so different. It sounds silly, but that little reminder really helped.

And a 28-page report! I'm jealous!
