Our case worker at the regional center came up with the name of a local lady who is a respite provider for an autistic child. She has just started babysitting in her home, has a physically disabled 5 year old, and a typical 5 year old after school, and would like to take on one more.
We meet her when we get back from Cali. Maybe this will be better, anyway. Maybe she can take difficult child after school, too.
We'll see. I still hurt for him. And now I'm worrying that maybe I shouldn't even be taking him to Cali...impulse control is obviously down.
