A Diagnosis

Today was the day for answers. Although we pretty much knew what the outcome would be it still isn't easy hearing your child has Autism. After reviewing the results from the ADOS assessment and completing a checklist with us, Conner's neurologist gave him the Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) diagnosis.

We discussed his sleep study results which did NOT show the enlarged adenoids and tonsils causing an interference with his sleep cycle. We asked what we could do since his irregular sleep patterns have a significant impact on the rest of the family. The neurologist recommended using melatonin. It is worth a shot.
