Re homeschooling
Good for you flow.
Shame you can't live in my area. I think the system is amazing. There are complete schools just for autism with all the therapy right there and one on one aides. Or if a child is higher functioning they can be in a 1:4 or 1:6 class and can push in with the other classes, say for gym or art and still get therapy for school. And still have a one on one aide if needed.
I guess that is why NYS has such a huge tax burden for schools. My hubby stated that the majority of the money is used for special ed. Understandable.
They also customize an educational plan to fit the childs needs (it's the law) and have meetings with the parent for approval,modification, input.


I myself am stressed and taxed. Both sons are sick again,like always. I worry so about my younger son and again asked my hubby about autism (he does socialize well, speech delays still, teeth grinding, major sensory issues). He always states there is no way to know yet. It stresses the hell out of me. Just now I played a game with the kids together and Chris would cover his ears b/c his brother speaking was too loud. He is a good sorter, likes to line things up (although my hubby reminds me that many kids w/out Autism do the same thing).
IDK, he is definitely not the norm and it is exhausting.

Sounds like your hubby and you are on the same page with the schooling- good for you. How does he justify his leaving, when he know it will upset and stress the kids? He stated that arguing in front of the kids was detrimental, what if there was less arguing? What would be his rationale then?
