Great news Blackcat!!!
Having someone who "gets it" can be a game changer. This is awesome. From my experience it is going to be a transition for you too. If this teacher gets it you can engage in meaningful discussions about what might work best. It may take some getting used to. Just remember to breathe and give this teacher a chance. She is willing ... sounds eager in fact... to spend her weekend reading information about your DS so she can better meet his needs. I would take a bossy know-it all attitude over what you had before. Soon enough she will see you a partner. If she is this eager for info about him you will be her best source for that.
Enjoy your celebration. You earned it!
