Mutterings Of A Mindless Mommy

My son saw the psychologist again this morning for an IQ test. The test du jour was the WPPSI-III also known as the Weschler Preschool Primary Scale of Intelligence; this is the same test my daughter took. Evidently the age range on the test is from 2-6. The psychologist had me wait in the waiting room while she and Alexander went through the test items. This waiting was oh so annoying as there was another patient there who had her cd player on very loudly; even though she had headphones on I could hear every note and every word of every song. I was hoping for a nice quiet morning and instead I got distorted music blaring through the headphones of a person sitting a good ten feet from me.

In addition to the test I dropped off all of the paperwork for the psychologist to score. We were originally going to do a follow-up on Wednesday, March 28th but the psychologist would like to see Alexander on Monday the 26th where she will administer one more test and then go over the results of the tests and her ultimate findings with me. On Monday she’ll be administering the ADOS - Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. This test was also administered to my daughter. I know my son will score much differently than my daughter did as he doesn’t have the communication delays. It will be interesting to see what the result of all the testing is. Being the impatient person that I am, I’m glad that we are being seen a full two days earlier than I originally expected.
