IEP MEETINGS = HELL

Okay, okay, hell is another word I probably shouldn't use. I definitely don't want my kids using it. But what else do I say. The last one almost drove me to Marty's Cheap House of Booze... okay not really but it's kind of become our thing since then. "My day was so bad I may have to take a trip to Marty's".

Anyways, Marty's (cheap house of booze) is on my route home from my son's gradeschool. I wish he was at the beautiful, award winning grade school 3 minutes from my house but for us it's not to be. #autismsucks. Instead, I get to drive a 30 minute, winding, backroad's route to a school with a more intensive autism program. And that is the sight of hell, ooops I mean my IEP meetings.

This last one was especially a doozy. After 3 years of special preschool programs our boy is starting kindergarten. For me special ed kindergarten=special ed real school=no college=my life and his are over.

Anyone else have to go through one of these? Do you bring someone with you? What do you do afterwards? How do you prepare? Help!
