Yes, that's a good way to put it.
Our 'news' was that our ds was 2e in a very difficult to define way, so issues, but not much hope the school would ever understand, and also that he was depressed, which was imo, the worst news. I was shocked that I would not have picked up on that...I mean I knew he wasn't happy, but I didn't know he was technically depressed.
Now we are homeschooling for emotional and 2e reasons, he feels pretty great most of the time, but I often wonder when this might come back up and when/if he goes back to school if "fit" will be essentially unattainable, as it was before.
