Don't wait for a diagnosis: Good point
I chanced upon this website and read this with vigorous nod of my head in agreement. If I had waited for my son who was diagnosed in 2008 to get his IBI (he's still on the waiting list and he's seven and a half now), I wouldn't be in a position to sit back and enjoy the progress he has made today. He talks non-stop and asks questions and loves to tell details of subject he knows about. Most current top of the mind topic for him today is about the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Who wants to know about that today. Well, he does and he could tell his audience just about everything about the tragic event. What a far cry from how he was even a year ago. I'm grateful!
