The little man is in the middle of some psychological testing. Basically it is to see if he qualifies for a program they have at the Children's Center. So today was the first day of actual testing. Dr. Holly seemed a bit apprehensive as to whether he would cooperate. Sometimes he does not.
When the time was up they came up. He did wonderfully for her. She said he liked the challenges of the testing and that he is very smart. I said "Oh I know". She totally got it. He is smart, very smart. That is not our issue. But it is nice to get confirmation of something I know in my heart.
As she explained on our first meeting in a car analogy. The engine is the smarts. The brakes are the behaviors. If the brakes fail it doesn't matter how good the engine is....the car still crashes. It is easier to retrain the brain now as opposed to teenage years. And that is why we are there.
