| I am fed up with Xanga and their bullshit. Last month my premium ran out and I renewed for a month, selecting NOT to subscribe. Yesterday morning I got an e-mail from Paypal letting me know I had made a subscription payment to Xanga. I filed a claim but was quickly denied. This morning I get an e-mail from Xanga telling me that my premium had expired. I've had it. I sent an e-mail to Xanga and I am sure I will get a reply about the time the premium runs out. I'm over it. You can come visit me on my new blog on Blogger.
Congrats on Getting Xanga Premium!

| The diagnosis....So today we went back to see the doctor and receive a diagnosis. I wasn't nervous for the past couple of months but this morning I woke up and started freaking out. The appointment was not until 12:45, which meant we needed to leave at 11. The three hours between when we woke up and when we left I was so nervous. So we got to the doctor's office and received a diagnosis: Asperger's Syndrome and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. The doctor did say that these two diagnoses do not typically go together but they are the things that describe his symptoms best. I had never heard of ODD today but I googled it once I got home and it fits him very well. She recommended speech and occupational therapy for B along with family therapy for all of us. She also recommended that he be placed with a teacher who is willing to learn about Asperger's and will work well with him along with Floortime training at home. She did recommend seeing a psychiatrist to "evaluate him for possible medications that would help with some potential hyperactivity and his acting out." We will not be doing that.
I talked with Fee this afternoon and she is going to send me a book about Relationship Development Intervention (RDI), which is similar to Floortime but Fee thinks that this will work better for B and I. I trust her opinion, especially since she is using Floortime with her ds. I am also hoping to find a way to start cranial sacral therapy and maybe chiropractic care with him.
I am a little overwhelmed with all that I have to do now. It felt like my plate was so full already and now I must add more. The most pressing things that I have to start doing:
- Talking to people and getting recommendations for therapists.
- Talking with the insurance company and finding out how much of what therapies will be covered.
- Getting in touch with the school to find out what they will be able to do for him, especially the teacher placement. The principal and I have talked about B's evaluation and my suspicions so he is aware that we would be receiving a diagnosis soon.
- Finding out what sort of state/government programs we would qualify for.
Right now I plan to take the weekend to absorb everything. I want to go to the gym tomorrow and will be watching a neighbor's girl (dd's age) in the afternoon. I can e-mail some people for a local autism support group and post on the Special Needs board at MDC for some advice on where to go.
Ok, it is late and I am tired and rambly. Cathy, I have your e-mail and I do plan to reply, I was just waiting to get this out of the way. Thanks to all of you that have been so supportive to me through all of this. It really means a lot that I have a few friends out there that I can call and talk to when I am totally spazzing out and get calmed down.

| For some reason my Xanga theme was interfering with my tracker so I disabled the theme.
This past weekend I went to go get dd for our summer visit. Last time I took her back I left the kids with dh but drove there and back in one day, 12 hours of driving. This time I left both boys at home with dh and stayed overnight. I left around 9:30 Saturday and got back around 5:30 last night. I knew B would be fine but J also did great. Dh even shampooed the bedroom carpets while I was gone. The rest of the house was pretty wrecked though.
This week is a busy week! Today I went to the gym and now I am getting the house cleaned up. Tomorrow is the kickoff for the summer reading program. They are doing a thing where you get points for the number of pages you read, or are read to you, and you can trade the points for prizes. Every week they have storytime with a special guest. This week there will be a magician. Over the next month they will have the police dogs, the fire department and something else. All ages of kids are included so hopefully they will all be happy to participate.
Wednesday B has a dentist appointment and we will go to the waterpark in the afternoon. Thursday we have the follow up with the psychologist in Tennessee. The appointment is at 12:45 and will only be about 45 minutes so I plan to take them to the zoo afterwards. Friday I will probably go to the gym again and fall into an exhausted heap afterwards.
Last night my salsa and I were chatting and she mentioned going to her planetarium. I haven't thought of a planetarium in ages but since she put the idea in my head I decided to look it up. B loves stars and planets so it is right up his alley. I did some googling and found out about the East Tennessee Discovery Center. It is really close to the zoo and it has a planetarium, along with a bunch of other cool kids stuff like a space shuttle, a lego lab and a kidspace. I plan to go when my mom comes so that there is someone to go into the planetarium and someone to stay with J. I don't see J staying in a dark room for very long at all.
Busy and tired.

Evan M. O'Dorney is the 2007 champion of the 80th annual Scripps
National Spelling Bee. Last night, the 13-year-old beat out 286
champion spellers from around the world by spelling "serrefine," a noun
of French origin describing the small forceps used in surgical
procedures. Robert Siegel talks with O'Dorney, a home-schooled eighth
grader from Danville, Calif., who won a $35,000 prize, a $5,000
scholarship, and a $2,500 savings bond, in addition to a complete set
of reference works.
