My son is 12 and non verbal autistic. He does have behavior issues. He got the hcs waiver. Under this he gets a total of 40 hours of respite per week. I only use less than half that. The person who helps me is probably going to quit. The hcs provider is having a heck of a time finding a replacement. Im sure it's due to low pay and my son's behavior. I might have to bite the bullet and pay for help. I looked at care .com and and a few others.For a child like mine,most people want 45 to 50 per hour! Is this excessive? What should be reasonable?
