Dr Lincoln is going to think that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree after I present him with the indexed and organized binder of Diego’s prior assessments from psych, speech, OT , and his teacher.
It is really quite lovely if I do say so myself.
lol
Really…busy work is the only way I am going to keep my sanity until the appointment on Wednesday. I don’t want that psychologist to miss anything, so I have made all of the reports as easy as possible to read and navigate through. Along with this I have gone back in time and noted which speech milestones Diego did and did not hit on time (with the help of his aunt 🙂 ) then put them on a spreadsheet.
What the hell else am I gonna do when I can’t sleep at 4am??
I figure the spreadsheet will be good for both Dr Lincoln and our second speech assessment on the 19th.
I think that I am better prepared for both this time around.
Did I mention that I am a hot no sleep having mess??
In all of my anxiety and angst I forgot to write about the NFAR Race For Autism that we did this past Saturday!! There were about 3,000 people out and it was a beautiful sight to see. I was so touched that my family, friends and many others came out to support.
Lyric ended up running, cast and all, the entire 3.2 miles in 32 minutes!! I am a horribly out of shape petite girl and walked the 3.2 miles in 54 minutes. My mom and Candace took pity and walked with me the entire way.
I hate running…with a passion!!
Give me a bike any day…or pilates again.
But it did remind me that I should take better care of my physical health, I’m not getting any younger and my pant size is only gonna grow. 🙂
It might also relieve some of this stress that I have going on.
Just a thought 🙂
My Brain Wants to Go Home 
I have had to designate different binders (medical, school, and then one for this year to keep track of school work so I can compare from the beginning of the year and look at goals) Good on you for getting started–it will really help during appointments!
And running? Give it a try–I swear you will like it once you get started! It is a great stress reliever!
Oh I have my own personal binders arranged similar to yours:) I just got a little OCD and made a mini folder of reports for the psych to have at our second assessment. I love my binders and they helps so much at appointments
so i’ll see you monday morning around 5:45??? is that what i’m hearing? =) see you then to get the boys ready
