45 minute drive to the hospital for a paed appointment that they had requested. Absolutely useless. Shmoo was weighed and measured and then I had to repeat the same old crap that I've been through a million times before (stuff that's all in his file) with a brand new locum. She then proceeded to scoff at the advice we were given to have as many behavioural/cognitive assessments done by a psychologist before his official TASDAS assessment (umm, hello, we were told to do this by TASDAS!). Then we were told to come back for another appointment in 4-6 months time, after the TASDAS assessment.

And the main thing I got from the appointment? The very strong impression that the paed was extremely pro mainstream schooling (because of the 'socialisation' of course!!). Maybe next time anyone asks me if Shmoo's in school I should just say yes and leave it at that... I mean, the word 'school' is in homeschool, isn't it?
