Good news for the day!

I just got a call from the Pediatric Developmental Specialists in Boise and they want to see Brandon on the 29th of January. We were told that there is up to a 6 month waiting list to see them, so we are pleasantly surprised to get in so soon! All kids in the Boise area have to be diagnosed for autism by these specialists in order to receieve any benefits from the state, and since Brandon turns 3 in March he will lose all of his current benefits through the Infant Toddler Program. If he is officially diagnosed in January, it means that his benefits will continue after he turns 3, so you can see that this couldn't have come at a better time for us! It also means that he will most likely be accepted into the local developmental preschool (provided he's actually diagnosed with autism by them). I'm overjoyed by this, mostly because we'll finally get an answer, one way or the other, to what our son has.
