HK: Approximately, yes
The funniest moment was when the person tripped a little over the stats for the cognitive section (which surprised us substantially less than it did them), and DH helpfully pointed out a rounding issue. She decided we understood at that point, but redoubled her efforts to convince us we really should tell the school THAT, too.
They recommended a gradual start to school, which was one of the things I had been thinking might REALLY help. 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.
I'm also a little freaked that he's diagnosable, let alone that they were ready to use both labels at this age. But I guess it makes me feel a little less like it's all my fault he's strange! (Ok, still my genes' fault, I guess)
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.
mlurp.
