Diagnosis

Tyler has an updated diagnosis per say...he was diagnosed with PDD-NOS originally but now that he is 5 and has had an IQ test his diagnosis changed to Asperger's Syndrome. His IQ came in at 110! The school psychologist even stated it could have been even higher but he became distracted at the end of the testing. I have such a SMART boy!

What is Asperger's Syndrome you say?
Asperger syndrome (AS) is a neurobiological disorder that is part of a group of conditions called autism spectrum disorders. The term "autism spectrum" refers to a range of developmental disabilities that includes autism as well as other disorders with similar characteristics.

We have good days with Tyler and we also have bad days. Some days it seems like an uphill battle that can never be climbed. Other days he's just a sweet little boy viewing the world differently. He has gotten better about going to doctors, seeing different people (which some days is still very difficult for him), watching kids play. We just try and take things one day at a time!
