[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I don't know any mother of a child with significant SN who pulls off working FT. I do think its worth a try and getting good child care is important.[/quote] I work full time and my child has significant SN (can't walk or talk, will require lifetime care). I know of many full time or near full time working moms whose children have significant SN (motor impairments, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, genetic defects, classical autism). I even know of working moms with more than one special needs kid. I know in my case, finding out about my child's needs was an unfolding process. I didn't receive a diagnosis at birth; we slowly became aware of what limitations and disabilities we were facing. I'm the major breadwinner in my family and it just was never an option for me to quit my job. We slowly adapted and we kept on keeping on.[/quote]
