She does go to school 75%-80% of the time, always with a fight. She attends a non public special education school for students with behavior needs. After the pandemic we have been through public, private, public with special education supports, and two non public schools. That has been a whole other exhausting experience.

I work a full time job.

I have started to research residential treatment and/or therapeutic boarding schools but it is very scary, especially after the trauma we experienced with her hospitalizations.

Solidarity. I have an ADHD/ASD 11 y.o. kid myself who is challenging but not violent. It is a lonely journey and the timing of the pandemic school closures made it challenging to identify developmental differences and get interventions for kids of this age. We just switched her to a non-public school since MCPS wouldn’t do much since she wasn’t failing and wasn’t interrupting others’ learning. She just spent a big chunk of each day at the nurse complaining of various ailments.

It sounds like you’re doing the best you can in an impossible situation. Do you have therapy for yourself? I’m impressed by your sacrifices to get your other child a better living environment. Of course you’re sad! It’s devastating! [/quote]
