So today we began the I.Q test. It was supposed to be done in one session but Jacob had to take a break every 15 minutes. He got very frustrated and wanted to stop. Dr. Decker had to trick him into continuing. When it was evident that we would have to come back later Dr. Decker said that the type of test was below Jacob and next week when we come back he will start with a higher level. He is also going to review the evaluations I did and and decide whether or not to further evaluate him for an autism spectrum disorder. So I guess it went as well as I suspected.
I kind of feel better now because I am not crazy and I don't feel like such a "bad mom". He isn't a "normal boy" that I can't handle. There is something there, something wrong! I am relieved in a way, but also sad because at this point I don't know what to do or how to help him. That will be my next step and I know that things will be better.
I don't think anyone knew how I was feeling because no one is around him as much as I have been. They just see an active boy. I see all the little things. I have always know there was something, but never what it was. I am so happy to be getting him in the right direction.
Until tomorrow when we go to see Dr. Kenawy. He hopes to have the test results in to go over them. Other than that we will discuss the dosage of his medication and the possibility of prescribing a sleep medication that will help with the sleep walking.
