They have many years of school and life ahead of them and as long as you're there fighting for them they will still be so much better off and have so many more opportunities. Do not think of this as loosing faith. Try to rephrase it as a new place of growth and potential.

There are some excellent special schools for high functioning autism. Kids with HFA get picked on by the other kids in mainstream school, particularly as they get older. We have one son with classic autism and one who is NT. So we really notice how badly the boys with HFA get treated by their NT peers. The ones that then move to special school feel so much better and they share their feelings on facebook. Everyone has to find their place in this world and it may not be the one their parents intended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
