Last night my husband broke down. Miguel is less on level then his 5 yr old cousin. On the outside he looks fine except the bloody pick marks and scars all over his body. My husband is very negative saying we need to get SSI and put him in special ED in school. His chances of meeting someone that is willing to deal with his issues my husband thinks are slim to none. We both feel public school isn't for him, private school is to much so our options are to find an alternative school or continue trying to home school. He's 12 so we have time. So we hold him back. He's only 12. We can do this. Legally he can take course until he's 21. He only needs to complete 3 class a year to graduate at 19. I agree that we need help. We need to see if he qualitys for. SN gym and ocuparional therapy. He needs a drama class. Maybe that is one of the classes he takes next year?
