phew.
I have barely even begun to process it let alone talk about it much. It isn't going to be easy. It's actually going to take a lot of my time and energy, as it already has up to this point, only now I won't be doing it just on instinct with a lot of guess work thrown in. No. Now I know things and that helps me change. Here is our diagnosis:
mildly gifted
nonverbal learning traits
likely aspergers
Let's just say I am really really thankful that I was lead to study NILD educational therapy. I am also glad that I decided that not all testing is a bad thing; in fact, testing is most helpful in a myriad of ways. I know for a fact that the parents of my clients are visibly relieved, and tell me so, when they learn that I've been through it, too, and I do, in fact, understand. Like those tv ads for hair growth for men "I'm not only the hair club president, I'm also a client!"
This coming year has my schedule as full as ever and I am both in awe of how it has all come together and excited like it's always the night before Christmas. I love the challenge. I love the hours preparing. I love my job.
bring it.
