[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 393409, member: 1991"] If you both go to the library at the same time - you look for your books, she looks for hers - then she should feel safer. Her reaction to the prospect of going back to school was interesting. I'm thinking that returning to school any time at all is too stressful a prospect for her. I do know that if we tried to get difficult child 3 back into mainstream, it would be a disaster. And yet socially he's not doing too badly at all and is quite confident about getting around on his own. He does better when he interacts with people in general, than when he has to interact with large numbers of children or teens. Society that we have to interact with in life, is a spectrum. In our lives, once we are adults, we are never expected to sit with a group of kids (as a kid ourselves) with one person, an adult, out the front in charge. A lot of the skills our kids need at school, may never be used again. Instead, if our children who are home-schooled can learn more general social skills, they will find more lasting value.
