[quote=Anonymous]I work full-time from my home. My 5 yr old is in school until 3 pm, then I pay for an after school sitter until 6:30 pm. My job requires me to me in the field meeting with clients at least 15 days/mos, but since i don't have a boss looking over my shoulder, I'm able to lie about my whereabouts. I just make sure that any big projects/deadlines are met so I don't get fired. Still, the pressure is huge and I often think of quitting because I feel that I'm not giving my employer what they're paying for and I never feel that I'm able to adequately address the needs of my ASD child. Summer is so hard because my child is out of school. We don't have any relatives that live locally who could help and I can't send my kid to camp because he's so severely affected that he needs one-on-one attention.[/quote]
