Wow, I need you to advocate for me and my 2e! LOL!!! That is great you were able to get your child's problems recognized and were able to advocate effectively.

I think researching is one of my best skills too though I haven't had to use it as extensively as you have. I also hate when people "use" you only for their benefit. It is disheartening to help someone only to find out they were just using you in some fashion.
