Today was the Case Conference for Marty and the development of his Individual Education Plan (IEP). It is the school psychologist's, behavioral analyst's, and communication specialist's opinion that Marty has Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and Attention Deficits Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is also their opinion that he is the most brilliant child they've ever met. They really did say wonderful things about him, about what a joy he is and how much he brings to the school and other kids. It was just hard to hear their diagnosis. Right now they're going to refer him for an Occupational Therapy evaluation, which is fine with me. At least they were smart enough not to mention medication! Otherwise, it's business as usual.
