I hate it when the so called professionals want to discuss my son in his presence, and I know he hates it too. It took us a long time to get a diagnosis. I don't know what facilities you have in your area, but we went twice for a week-long assessment in a special centre, where we met different specialists Galina Varesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113049600313050157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797136949052460166.post-50425555937719841702018-04-26T11:08:33.327+01:002018-04-26T11:08:33.327+01:00Oh no sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

And I don't understand the problem with the dolls? I wouldn't let my boys play out on the streets unsupervised either. They are too quick to label in my opinion. You and Stu are amazing parents, end of! :) xJaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16696429194100855064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797136949052460166.post-47410995026720268822018-04-25T21:45:57.280+01:002018-04-25T21:45:57.280+01:00Its exhausting !

Every move is highlighted.<br /><br />I hope that in the end Ellie will get what she needs. And that they will really find out the reasons and causes.
