[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in your shoes. Don't quit.  The burn out is very real, but it will not always be like this. It does get more routine and easier with time.

I don't know your child's age because I haven't read all of the responses. But it does get easier, first 12-18 months from the diagnosis are the most intense. Also the younger the child, the more intense it is.  Eventually, once you have things on track, it becomes more routine. You may need to hire either a SN-knowledgeable nanny or an RBT aide full time for your kiddo to do day-to-day shuttling to appointments. It may cost a ton, but in the long run you're saving your earning potential.

Also, you might need SN school for your child and for that your need $$. These schools range in terms what severity of needs they support and what services are integrated (many are).

Before anyone says you can sue the school district for placement - not all cases are clear cut. My child could be mainstreamed with IEP, but I cam choosing to put him in a private for a bunch of reasons, because I believe he will served much better there.  For many families, you need a dual income to pull it off...[/quote]
