I feel you. Summer is a lousy time for me. It's good to see I am not alone. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I wake and kick some butt! :)

This breaks my heart. Such manipulation is heartless and uncivilized. The school need to act on many fronts. To protect the innocent, to educate the ignorant, and to create a culture where other students will nor accept this behavior. Best wishes to you for making change.

I know where you are. My son is six and the whole time around 2-3 years was especially maddening. One thing that helps me is having family memebers with autism. I can see possible futures and adjust expectations. Could my 79 year old Dad wipe his own butt at six without getting chocolate fingers? Probable not.

The hardest thing for me was to let go and get help. I saw wise souls above reccomending respite care. Please do. I went to care.com (any nanny site will do) and looked in the special needs section. The wisdom and advice of our TWO respite workers has helped our family so much. A good case manager should be able to help make care affordable.

I wish you the best. You can connect with me on my blog or FB. I will respect your privacy.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for sharing with us.

"You are different. You will always be different.

Different but not less. Never less."

These are beautiful words to give with your child.
Thank you.
