[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not think an AP is probably going to work for you unless you get really lucky....but by the time you find one you may be banned from a few agencies (losing a good bit of money) for too many rematches.  If you are going into a second rematch with the same agency now for the same reason you will be lucky if they even give you a third try.

I would look into a professional nanny with experience with special needs.[/quote]

+1. Au pairs are not really expected to manage difficult situations. They are not childcare professionals. They're more like a long-term babysitter.

I do understand that if a nanny were in the budget, you'd probably already be doing that. Is there a solution that doesn't require you or DH to take significant time off work, or require a lot of money to hire a special needs nanny? I don't know, but if this has been going on for more than a couple of weeks, you may need to consult with your child's doctor.

Remember that FMLA will cover some time off if you need it to take your child to therapies or something, which might be a cheaper solution than a nanny, and therefore worth trying first. Clearly, whatever you've tried is not working, and there's no magic switch.

You might also want to post in the special needs forum for some advice. [/quote]
