Second Psych Session

    Another psych session done - the second appointment was all about Madd doing an IQ test. She hasn't finished it, she'll finish it next week- but from what the psych has seen, Madd is far beyond her years in some areas. So it will be interesting to see exactly what the IQ test shows. She has strengths in some areas, but she's behind in others.

     She's still happy at the new school, she was NOT impressed at me taking her out early today for her psych session. But at least there's only 3 more to go. Then we'll know exactly where her strengths and weaknesses lie, and where on the spectrum she is.

     It does make me think about her biological father - does autism run in his family? Would he have anything to contribute to Madd's life? Would he have been supportive, and understanding, or would he just not get it at all? Why did he walk away? How could you walk away from your own kid? Has anyone told him she has autism? Will he ever decide he wants to know her? And how will I feel if he ever does?

It doesn't help to delve back into the past, it brings more questions than answers.
