My son had a horrible time in school after they decided to "mainstream" him. Before that he enjoyed going to restaraunts, movies and shopping, after the mainstreaming which lasted all through middle school/jr.high he became reclusive.

in our state they have home respite care. they come in and watch your son/daughter for nothing so that you can get away for a little while. if you are not rested it is hard to take care of someone that needs so much care. dont know about your state though. i have never called them as we take my daughter with us when we go anywhere, which isnt to often on a farm. love gram
