At least now you know. *hugs*

We're currently waiting to hear back about my oldest nephew. We don't know if it's some form of autism or Tourette's or what... I should really call the SIL.

Better half has been posing as a 'normal' for 34 years, but he isnt... its shocking how easy a diagnosis it was - we both diagnosed him 2.5 years ago, it just took this long to wait to get to see a qualified shrink to agree with him.

Time to call the SIL, yes.

That's kind of ridiculous, y'know? Of course, you know. *thunk*

I need to call her anyway about Christmas plans and such. Perhaps this weekend I'll have a few minutes free.

Well the normal waiting time is 8 weeks but just when he got the referral done back in 2005, the specialist he was to see, who is the one he saw this morning, was moving offices and changed jobs, and he got lost in the shuffle. I wanted to chase it up but then i ended up ill with mono/glandular fever in Sept05 and was too ill/tired to keep up with it, and then it was sort of forgotten about for a while until pumpkin started displaying big symptoms, and then we decided to pursue it officially after pumpkin was diagnosed and on track, and then it just worked out this way.

holy run-on sentence batman!

good luck with the SIL, babes.
