Yesterday was the day we've waited for for 3 years - our son got his official diagnosis from the Autism Panel - Aspergers Syndrome. It wasn't a shock, and according to the lady who called to deliver the news was a very straightfoward diagnosis with no debate amongst the panel members.
The only reason they went with Aspergers rather than Autism is because he talked before he was 3, but ultimately its one and the same. Hopefully now we can be assured that any help he needs in the future will be offered without a fight. Don't get me wrong, we have never had to fight for any help he's needed up to now, but who knows what the future holds.
