I haven't blogged in awhile but here are some updates.

We started family therapy this summer to try and find more effective ways to work with SD6. We haven't found that particularly helpful yet but we will see.

Sd was evaluated by a neuropsychologist at the end of September and the neurpsych very helpfully said "she has all these little neurological symptoms but none of them fit into the nice little diagnoses boxes that we have." Thanks lady, that's very helpful.

She did say autism was the farthest thing from her mind so the previous diagnosis of PDD-NOS is now out. She also said she was pretty sure SD has ADHD but as they aren't seeing issues in school yet she can't officially diagnose her with that yet but told us to start expecting problems in the next year or two. She recommended more OT so we have been doing that with a new therapist twice a week. She new OT diagnosed SD with sensory processing disorder and we are doing intensive therapy for that which seems to be helping some of the sensory problems so that's something at least.

BM is being a bit difficult. SD came home from her house a few weeks ago saying they had signed up for some kind of Salvation Army or paper angel tree kind of thing but we didn't get any more info about that. SD has been with BM the last few days and DH talked to her yesterday morning and SD told him she didn't get anything for Christmas.

I have to pick her up in a few hours. This should be a fun drive home.
