i think that's totally natural - so let yourself feel it, but pretty soon you'll get to move into the "action" phase and it's bound to feel a lot better once you're really into it. all the best!
Exactly!
I remember diagnoses day (all three of them) very well. The dyslexia diagnosis was the hardest. I cried in the car on the way home and felt, for a week, like I had been punched in the stomach. Then, I regrouped and read everything I could about it. What made it easier to deal with was DD's elation at finally having an explanation for her struggles.
DS4 just had his psych-ed last week. I'm not sure how I am going to last until we get the results. Psyching myself up for it this time and expecting that he will be red-flagged for it. But, this time we are coming out swinging in primary rather than feeling like horrible parents in 4th grade!
