Thanks for reminding me how much I like this forum. I would be absolutely isolated in regards to a LOT of stuff about my kids otherwise. I would probably not have advocated at school for them(or at least not effectively) had it not been for this forum.

I can't imagine what would be going on in our family if I had not advocated.

The abnormal becomes normal and that really does cut the feelings of isolation.

The commraderie, sharing of resources, ideas, experiences, tears and laughs had been invaluable. Especially the laughs!

Because I don't feel isolated that transcends to my children. They may still feel that way at school a little, but they know that home is a place where they can say and feel, just about anything.
