Anyway, thanks, ladies. I REALLY appreciate your help. This calms my mind some.

The nurse said this appointment will take longer than most because they do a thorough physical exam. I asked about testing since he has not been tested before but she didn't say anything so we'll see.

Thing is, the appointment is on his birthday and I was going to bring cupcakes for their snack time. Guess I'll do that Thursday or Friday.

You know there is another sign that not all kids have, but mine did. It's when he puts his socks on, he has to pull them very tight from his toes up, before he will put his shoes on. Blew my mind that this is also a small sign.

My advice not to have him tested at school is because they really don't understand it as well as the professionals and tend to want to put the kids in a LD (learning disabiltiy) class. That would have hurt my son's self esteem so we had him tested elsewhere.
