psyche - your story is so identical to how we have felt here at our house. When we pulled my DS6 out of public school yesterday to go back to homeschooling I had 2 teachers and our advocate who has worked with 100's of families in our county all come forward and tell us the same thing - that our little guy deserves more than he would be able to get at that school. It is so frustrating. I have tried to start up a support group in my area but didn't have as much luck as I hoped. One suggestion is that most libraries offer free meeting rooms where you can hole meetings...then pick a date and topics for your meeting and post to where ever you can think of to get the word out. We finally ended up joining an excellent group 2 hours away - it is a bit of a drive to get to the meetings but it has been worth it to hear guest speakers and other parents share ideas - best of luck and hugs!
