It was our first time to meet Ms. Elyse, the Nurse Practitioner. Due to the pandemic Covid-19, it was a zoom video meeting. She requested that we moved the camera so that she could see William’s whole body, not just the face. William as usual would not sit still: he kept moving around, jumped up and down on the couch. Ms. Elyse asked him some basic questions like his name, mom and dad names & phone numbers, our home address. William said “I don’t know” but with my help of telling him the first word, he’d finish the rest. He was sleepy (or bored?) that he ran into the bed room several times, I had to bring him back to the zoom meeting.
Ms. Elyse asked a lot of questions, most questions are similar to those in the intake application. Then she confirmed that William has Autism and ADHD. She suggested to meet William in person in 1 month to discuss about the medicine for ADHD if I’m interested. I said “Yes”.
She said to send William for blood tests: Genetics Chromosome and Fragile X (FMRT) w/ Reflex to Methylation Lavender.
She’s a very serious person, I don’t think I saw her smile at all during our zoom meeting.
