Today, I realized that I had virtually abandoned my blog, as I had not blogged since June 19, 2007. Four months is a long time between blogs, and so much has transpired.
I'm still homeschooling, and my son who I thought might have ADHD along with Asperger's syndrome (high functioning autism); however he was evaluated at a renowned children's hospital and has received a totally different diagnosis. He, at this time, has not been diagnosed with ADHD and does not have Asperger's syndrome but has been diagnosed as "cognitively gifted" with a few challenges. Although he is gifted, he is socially immature along with needing more speech therapy; needing help to deal with stimulation and overstimulation due to sensory integration issues; and also needing help to manage an "intense temperament." Some would call him a twice exceptional child, meaning that he is cognitively gifted along with some type of challenge(s). However, I call him D.--perfectly and wonderfully D.
I will blog again soon regarding my son, his evaluation, and the challenges both he and I are facing. I just had to blog a bit, because I missed blogging and will try not to stay away so long.
Ms. Phyllis

Hurray!!! You're back! I just stopped by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, and I look forward to reading more about your son. Sounds like a fascinating place to be and a mission/ministry to be developed so that you can teach others as you go. Praise God!
