Parents of teenage children must wonder almost every day what they have gotten themselves into. But being the parent of an autistic teenager must be hell on wheels. This mother will tell you about her frustration with the school system, her never-ending fight to make the school do what they are mandated by law to do, managing her son’s teenage outbursts.

Well apparently it was to be called into the school again to go over his behavior and their complete inability to give him what he needs. It’s a real special moment when a school district tells you that they can’t give him the free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment as he is entitled by the law.

There are just some days when it all becomes too much and there is no end to the situation. The author spells out very concisely what she is fighting with not only in herself but in her son’s world. Fear, anger, frustration and love for her son can sometimes be overwhelming.
I’m heartbroken and scared. I am starting all over again. Now we scramble to find another placement for him and traumatize him again by taking him away from the classmates he has grown up with since he was three.
