Many Doctors, Many Tests and No Answers

Well my sweet boy turned 10 in May! I can't believe we are in the double digits now! He is as sweet as ever too. He has become more outgoing which I think is due to his IEP teacher this year, she will be his teacher next year too, granted next year starts August 20th!

He visited many doctors and therapists last year and they couldn't agree what, if anything is wrong with him (I think he's perfect). They have it narrowed down to him being on the autism spectrum or a cognitive disorder due to a traumatic brain injury. I just googled cognitive disorder and I seriously don't think he has it. They want to start testing him all over again and I really don't know about that. We had many, many appointments last year and I think it's hard on him. Coming back from the last one last year I had a stroke in the car on the expressway with my baby in the car!!! All is well now, but he was so worried about me. I begged and they let me come home on Christmas Eve. I called him everyday and he always told me that he looked all over for me and was worried and wanted me to come home. I have to admit, it made me cry.
The first full week school is back he has two appointments, on for an MRI to keep tabs on the cyst on his brain and the second one is with the Psychologist that ordered all these tests last year. I think I will see what she has to say and then make my decision on further testing from there.
