[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 415142, member: 6705"] Welcome, and gentle hugs. Sue was right when she said this is a marathon. You [I]must[/I] take breaks. Respite care is so you don't go off the rails yourself. The people who do it aren't just [I]any[/I] strangers. They're trained (some more, some less). If I had known only 3 years ago what I know now, from being here and asking questions (and believe me, asking questions here will get you toward more questions for the doctors, which [I]will[/I] help you find out what's going on and what to do)... So many things would be different. But this place has saved my sanity and probably my life. How old are your other children? Where an IEP is concerned - you may have been steamrolled the first time, but remember - your son has rights under IDEA - and [I]you[/I] are his parent, and you know what works/doesn't work/is best for him. If he is at an alt school, and they don't seem to be able to handle him, what's [I]their [/I]plan? They have an obligation, so they must have some idea what to do. If you contact your state's Department of Education, they should be able to help you find an advocate. More hugs... And the Legos hurt, too, when thrown. [/QUOTE]
