[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694476, member: 1550"] if your younger kids are in Head Start that is free babysitting most of the working day too. Most of the mothers of our kids worked. Many were single parents. I live over two hours from a semi big city and four hours from Milwaukee, the biggest city in Wisconsin. There are less resources uere than when I lived in Chicago burbs, but they exist. As I said, there us Head Start, county mental health and our schools are pretty progressive, although they lack funding and gave us trouble over son's services. I am wondering how the schools are in Kansas, as far as understanding special needs. Do ypu have a university hospital around for testing? This is important in getting kids into special services. Testing at university hospitals is very high quality and they take Medicaid, which is all that we had, but got very positive results and help. Do be proactive. My autistic son is 23 now, very high functioning due to all his interventions, and lives alone, works and not even acts autistic. Tantrum days are long over He is charming and loveable and needs very little help. And we were told he'd never be more than a vegetable. So its amazing what the right help can do, and you dont need money to get good help. I am sorry you are alone. You are so young to have so many little ones. Do cpntact Head Start so that you can get a break, find a job and get help. I believe their worker helps you apply for government services. How is school going for your older kids? [/QUOTE]
