Yesterday, my son completed his psychological assessment. We hope to hear what the findings were sometime before Christmas.
It will be interesting, because we have never really gotten a pinpoint, accurate reading about what exactly his disability is.
Yes, we have had several tests done on him, and the diagnoses really run the gamut of what these disabilities actually are, but these tests really haven't shed too much light on this subject.
They are truly all over the place, and this is precisely why I don't think his public school education was very good.
He is supposedly not autistic, and the schools have a habit of dumping every student they can't figure out into the autism "barrel," because, in my son's case, they simply didn't know what to do with him--
From kindergarten through 12th grade.
He has certainly exceeded every touchpoint and milestone as far as his progress is concerned, starting when some imbecile doctor relegated him to "R" status.
He has a high school education, he has worked since he was 15 years of age, and for someone supposedly with "motion" and "movement" problems, but you would never know it--
His job, as a parking lot attendant, is very physical.
He plays both basketball and bowling on a weekly basis.
He has made himself into quite a bowler--
This past Saturday, he bowled a 167 and a 174, and I wish that idiot doctor was around to see that--
And choke on her words ...
I do mean really choke.
So let's see what the findings are.
My wife and I really need to know, and so does our son.
He is 30 years old, and I think the time has come.
