3. My son with autism was sent home so many days it was so hard on our family.

I went back to school at nights and got my teaching credential. I wanted to teach full time but because of my son I ened up doing part time work so I could be put him on the bus and then meet him in the afternoon. My husband also had to take days off when I went though my days off. I finally got him into a private school that dealt with the kids who washed out of public school because they didn’t have teachers who could deal with autism.

I finally used that teaching credential to become a substitute and I have no problem taking classes of kids with special needs. The aides in those classrooms are surprised I don’t freak out until I tell them I’ve have to deal with my son during his school years.
