Adventure with Albert update

It's been a while since I have really posted anything on here so I will spend a minutes updating on what's been going on here in LA.
First we will start with big Albert. He has his PT test tomorrow. So please pray for him. This past week he has also received his class date. PTL (Praise the Lord) it's not until January. So he will be here for the holidays including his and Sarah's birthdays. So we are looking at moving sometime in July probably. No we don't know where yet though.
Next we will go with Sarah. Well not much to tell there really. She is enjoying school now that things have been resolved with the bully situation. She is loving playing soccer. She has improved on self confidence a ton since she started playing.
Then the 2 little kids. Well there isn't really anything to tell about them. Andrew is quickly becoming just like his big brother. Carolyn is walking and talking really well for her age.
So that brings us to little Albert and probably the longest update. This has been quite an adventure so far with him. We haven't seen his doctor is go over his autism evaluation with her yet. However we have seen his phychitrist. She retested his IQ and did a general evaluation with him. She found that his IQ went up a lot. It went from 92 to 110. Also she said he does have a mild form of Asperger's syndrome. She also sugested that we go through the school to have a language development evaluation done on him. She suggested this because his biggest problem is in the language area. He has trouble understanding what is expected of him and also he has trouble getting people to understand him. So we are waiting for the school to do their thing which is taking forever. This has been quite a learning experience. I urge you all to look up Asperger's syndrome to understand better why he is the way he is. It really does explain alot. I never knew that autism was even a possibility for him. Before this all began I had a 'vision' of what a child with autism looked like and now that image has drastically changed. Who would have thought that my son would be a face of a child with autism.
