[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 261965, member: 3388"] Fran, Thanks for the advice - One of the reasons I love this bb is because it helps me tremendously to listen to what more experienced parents have to say. I just learn so much from being here... And, like you, I'll NEVER give up on difficult child 2. I've read about some of the struggles and successes your difficult child has had and know that both of our difficult children are still "cooking" (I think I got this expression from one of your posts)... They haven't reached their full potential yet... Like you and Trinity, at this point, realistically, I don't see difficult child 2 being able to make it on his own. It is frustrating because even though husband and I do everything we can to help him with his daily living skills, social skills, etc., it just doesn't even come close to being enough... This is one reason we made the decision not to delay the hearing any longer even though husband is still recovering from his heart attack. We want to do everything in our power to get appropriate services in place for difficult child 2 no later than the beginning of the next school year. difficult child 2's neuropsychologist believes that the SD should provide residential services for difficult child 2, at the very least, a full day program that puts much emphasis on daily living skills, social skills, etc... The process is so stressful but hopefully the end result will be worth it... Trinity, Like Fran, I have so much respect for you - You've come so far with so many obstacles thrown in your path. Sharing your experiences with us gives me hope for all of those on the spectrum... Runaway Bunny, thanks for starting this forum. It is wonderful to be able to keep up to date on issues that affect all of us so deeply. It's nice to be able to get different view points and perspectives from the CD family. Whenever I visit this forum, I leave it deep in thought... WFEN [/QUOTE]
