YEAH !! We Passed the EED test.


I took William today to the Chatham Co Health Dept for the EED test. It was crowded and hot. Not to mention loud. He was okay for the first hour of waiting..Then he started to get irritated and cranky. He was ready to go and so was I. I was seconds from walking out when I asked a Nurse who I should let know we were leaving. I told her William was Mildy Autistic and didn't like the noise of the crowds of people. She was so Kind and understanding that she said ..I'll move you to the top of the list and with in 5 minutes they called us. Thank god for people who understand how it is to have a child that is different from other kids.

The nurse started with the ears test. I told her that William wouldn't put the head phones on his head or ears for the hearing test. So instead she used a toy that made noise to check his hearing. He could hear it and tried to grab the toy away from her..So he could hear the noise in each ear and see her. That was two test down and a third to go.. Next she checked his teeth. I've been brushing his teeth for him so he passed that test.. So William passed all the test for the EED. I know it might not seem like a big deal to everyone.. But to me it means alot.!
