I think, in general, the recommendation for outside help was because there is a specific therapist in town who works with social skills groups in "high functioning" or whatever you want to call it population.

And getting some help at home (a tutor/childcare person after school) who has actual organizational coaching skill set was something I brought up and she thought would be really helpful to relieve home stress. So maybe I can just be mom some of the time, is my thinking.

I am hoping to get services from school but am kind of in "plan for the worst" mode.
