Thanks Laura, as came out in my Cacophony thread, quite a bit of this comes from growing up with a younger brother who has Autism... and being that he hit public school in the early 90's (and in Texas, even if it is the more liberal part) *every* effort to keep him from being shunted off into a life skills class ended up being a battle for my parents =/ So even though you *know* you're going for the right choice, the stress skyrockets and tempers fray.
