Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I had my functional assessment yesterday for DD services. The psychologist said he hasn't scored my test yet, but he thinks I might score at around 80. I need a 70 to pass the test and get DD services.

This is a functional IQ equivalent score. He said my verbal skills are so high (99th%) that it may bring my score up considerably. But, I need help. And, if my functional IQ is 80, I think I should still get help and I don't know what I'll do without it.

I need help with budgeting, med mgmt, social stuff and plus if I qualify I won't have to pay anything for health expenses.. not even co-pays.

Please keep your fingers crossed, pray if you believe in that, etc. I worry I won't get the help I need.

Good luck!

whitetiger,
even if don't qualify,is there no local organisations that offer services/support with things,such as a local asd organisation? there's got to be something out there,is there a direct payments scheme where are.

if there is nothing at all available,what about looking for a volunteer to help out a little,maybe pay them back with letting them stay in a spare room or something else.

Let us know when you find out! Good Luck!! !! !! !

I hope it works out so that your needs are met. Keep us posted.

Good Luck to you!

good luck and hope you get the break you need and deserve with this, whitetiger.

Considering what you've had to go thru perhaps maybe you can see a way to make becoming an advocate for others a new special interest. We need as many representatives as we can get to force the dead-ass buearucrats into action or to throw them out of a job.

Just show em' you're a tiger!

Yes, good luck Whitetiger!

Good luck! I hope things work out well.

Thanks everybody!

I talked to the DD counselor today and he said there were services available to those who don't qualify for DD. He listed some. Plus, I have my counselor, who is really good. She's been working with me on some of this stuff.

This will sound WEIRD and maybe I'm CRAZY but there was a picture of a white tiger on the bulletin board in the room and I kept thinking that was a sign of good luck for me.

Probably not though!

REAOW... she says. GRRRRR.....with hand as claw raised in support.

Here's wishing you the best of luck, whitetiger.
