[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a flexible schedule with my job. But it is still tough. I do so much driving to therapies: speech, OT and tutoring right now. But we used to also do behavioral therapy. You just have to prioritize things. What are his biggest deficits that need therapy right now? If it's speech, then that is the most important. Send the nanny to the other appointments if you can only do one appointment a week.

[b]...I also got a mobile hot spot so I can sit in the waiting room and work while my child did his OT and speech. This helped my stress level so I didn't walk back into a shit storm of work when I got back online.[/b]

Not the OP, but this is such a good idea. I should invest in one.

My kiddo isn't ASD, but there we have 4x a week worth of therapies, plus lots of doctors' appointments. Putting EVERYTHING on my work Google calendar and making that shareable with my spouse has been huge. We're able to see everything that's happening with our schedule and our kid's schedule so we're not accidentally double booking and making our professional lives hell. Having a spouse that is willing to switch off on appointments (we literally look at what's coming down the line and split 50/50) is critical; I couldn't have done it if we had fallen into outdated traditional norms of the mom having to juggle everything.[/quote]
