H and I have a potentially 2-hour meeting at 2 with my daughter's school psychologist as part of their assessment to see if they should put autism on her IEP along with developmental delay (language). She was diagnosed on the autism spectrum privately a few years ago (she's 5 now--6 in a few months!-and in Kindergarten), but the school doesn't have that in their file. She can keep getting services through developmental delay till she's 8, but I'm really curious as to how they'll assess her. She's pretty high-functioning (though considerably behind in language), and I'm nearly positive there's ADHD in the mix, too. So they're doing testing of her in little 15-minute spurts throughout the next few months.

Just a bit nervous about the interview because last time I saw the school psych was at her IEP meeting earlier this month, the morning after I'd found out MC's wife had died, and I had a panic attack and started crying in the middle of the meeting and had to step out for a few minutes. So hopefully, this one will go better...

On the plus side, as H pointed out, she's a psychologist, so she knows about things like anxiety and panic attacks...(he'd explained to her and the others what was going on--well, not in detail--while I was in the bathroom).
