Ok ready for it? Jacob was officially diagnosed with asperger's syndrome. I included a link to a topic overview for those who are no familiar with asperger's. We got his I.Q test results back today and it showed an average of al the different test was a score of 109. The average I.Q is around 95-109. Dr. Decker didn't like that number because he scored so high on several of the sections of the test he felt like Jacob's frustration held him back. He wants to do it again in a year. On most of the test he scored in the 7+ age range. The sections that he scored average on were the ones he became very frustrated.
So now what do we do? The doc has a support group for people with asperger's every third Saturday for kids in one room together and the parents in another. He says that it is really amazing how the kids interact with each other. The parents all sit and share information like what's working and not. I am pretty excited. The first one will be next week.
So we were kind of undecided about where to sent Jacob to school. When I talked to the doc today he told me that Lucille Moore has an asperger's program. Jacob can go to that school and be with like minded people and learn the way he needs to learn. I will be calling them on Monday! I can't even tell you how happy this makes me! Finally we have an answer, a way to help him and a solution to our school problem.
What an amazing day! God is great!
