[quote=Anonymous]I think experience matters up to a point. The match needs to have a baseline level of experience, but if both candidates meet the minimum level of experience for the job, then it doesn't matter so much if one is way more experienced. In your case, it sounds like both APs meet the basics: they have worked with kids to some extent, have some driving experience, etc. so in that case, I would go with B. The only question is whether your SN son is particularly challenging or needs to be managed very specifically one way. Do you have a date night sitter or close friends you could ask for their impression of how tough DS would be for someone not used to his needs? You may be so used to doing things the right way for him that you can't tell how hard it would be for a stramger to get used to.[/quote]
