I am in Arkansas and need emergency travel assistance to get my 16 yo nephew who is Aspergers back home to his mother in West Virginia. I've tried getting cheap-no cost flights, or assistance with gas money to drive him home...to no avail!
We started out to offer respite care to his parents and now he has become homesick and extremely irritable here, on top of being Asperger's, and it's been a real downhill battle the last week. Our nerves are shot, and somehow this kid thinks that if he misbehaves or tantrums badly enough, he'll magically get to go home!
Both families on both ends have had fincancial emergencies this month and finances are very limited in trying to help get "E" home. Last night, we endured a whopping 5 1/2 hour tantrum. Last weekend, my husband was physically hit during one of these tantrums. Other than the last week, things had been relatively calm.
Any idea how to help get this child back home with his Mom?? And fast????
Thanks for listening...
