A great mail day
Some days the postman just brings a smile in an envelope.
From Monica, because she knows I would SO wear a chicken brooch.
And from Samantha - isn't this little Pinocchio tape the cutest? Both before and after telling his porkie pies.
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and sage advice on tomorrow's appointment. I have a batch of homemade ice-cream in the freezer for afterwards, so one way or another, it's going to be a mighty fine day.

How did your ice cream make it to the freezer? Mine never gets that far.
Good luck, we're all rooting for you

Although I haven't practiced for a couple years, I am an OT and have worked a lot with kids in the autism spectrum. As some others have mentioned, preparing yourself with lots of information will certainly help you feel more in control.
As sad as this may be, having a parent who is prepared, involved and obviously willing to do what's best for their child can be a good motivator for the evaluator to take a more careful look.
That is a very cute chicken brooch, enough to make anyone smile!
Hope it went ok today. I'll be thinking of you. My eldest has an A.S. disorder too and was only diagnosed last year so I understand exactly how you guys are feeling right now.
The comment about reading up is sooo spot on. Be the best advocate for your child and remind all professionals that whilst they have a whole career to figure out how to get it right - this is it for you and the little guy. You only have the here and now to work with. I found that it was helpful to remind people of this when they dismissed my concerns or gave me pithy advice.
You'll be fine - don't forget we're all rooting for you. x
