Xander's diagnosis

Xander's counselor finally gave us a (unofficial) diagnosis of regulatory disorder. Unofficial because she is not a doctor.

She was basically been a waste of time over the 7 months we've been going to see her. Mostly creating more anxiety then help on my part. Our last meeting ironically was the only time she was helpful at all.

In terms of treatment; she says to not focus on his issues, to keep reassuring him that he will just learn as he gets older to deal with these things, to normalize it.

Some of the issues we won't know how bad (or how good) they are until next year when he is home schooled. For example he has some attention issues that appear to be more about interest and boredom rather than lack of ability to concentrate. And yes (sigh) the subject of meds came up to "help" this. Which I immediately refused and she immediately made fun of me for refusing. Sigh I really don't like her!!

Anyway we shall see what's to come next....
