Alisdair's been given the official diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. I happened last Thursday, and I've been working on processing it all since then. We have some one-on-one behavioral therapy sessions scheduled to start next week, a sleep EEG test at Children's Hospital here in Seattle that'll be scheduled soon for some time not too far in the future, and possibly given low-dose anti-anxiety medication on a short-term basis to take the edge off while he's trying to learn some new coping skills. The clinic will be having video/social skills nights coming up this month, I think, where parents and kids who go there can meet up and practice being social and making friends and all that stuff.
We'll get the full official list of recommendations for therapy and stuff this week. We haven't told Alisdair yet because it really doesn't make a difference in the end to him, at least not now. Also, I wanted to be able to do so without getting all verklempt first. His dad is untroubled by this and doesn't really get why it bothers me, but then, that's par for the course for him.
He's a good kid. Hopefully this will let us make things better.
