Is this a formal test given by a doctor/psychologist, or is it one of those online tests.

Online tests, in my opinion, don't mean that much.

I guess it means you're autistic--which you've known all along.

Aren't you diagnosed with Level-2 autism?

By the way, how's the new school coming along?

Yes I'm diagnosed with autism two but this was part of a separate test by a psychologist. My doctor who diagnosed me is a psychiatrist and says I have autism level 2 but I have I have not shown him the testing yet. But he says not directly but says no matter what I have autism level 2.



Not there yet I wasn't excepted to reach for some reason and were trying to find another school. I wish I was excepted although I might go to Greenburg Academy. I'm not sure i'm still on home and hospital.

I'm sorry you weren't accepted into REACH. Did they tell you why you weren't accepted?

You sent me the link to Greenburgh once. It seems like a nice place. I hope you're able to go there, rather than remain in the "home and hospital" thing.

Now I know why because they felt I need more support and their going to try to find me a new school with more support or ironically going to greenburg.

Well actually I might be going to the summit school in Westchester I think its a sister school to your school. When you went to the summit school were you a day or resident student?

Best of luck Jen. This kind of stuff has always been a bit of a battle for me. I'm currently having to deal with back and forth stuff regarding placement as well and I know how stressful it is.

Could you describe your special school what is it like? How many kids and teachers in a class?
