Official Diagnosis

Payton had her appointment with Childrens the day after Thanksgiving and we have her official diagnosis. After reading through about 20 pages of questions her Dr said it was one of the easiest diagnosis' she has ever made! Payton has Selective Mutism, Obsessive Cumpulsive Disorder and Sensory Integration Dysfunction. The second two are pretty common for Selective Mutes to also have. Its been just over a month and I am still waiting to hear back from their office. They are trying to get Payton into a therapist closer to home because I'm not big on the idea of driving down town and they don't want to start her with one therapist and then switch her. I'm going to call the one closer to home and see what the hold up is early next week because I really want her to get started before next school year! I got the books I ordered and they werent at all what I thought they would be. There was some communication issues with the company I ordered from so they gave me a credit for a free book. I'm going to get that ordered too but in the meantime I passed the other books onto her teacher. Not much has changed on the school front. Payton continues to comminicate non-verbally and was very excited to be the person who got to point out the words as the class read them a few weeks ago. I'll post as we have more updates! If you're reading please leave me a comment! I'd love to hear from other parents of SM kids!
