Asperger's, IEP Meetings and Transition to High School

UGH!


Can I believe Dallin is going to be in high school?  NO.
Can I handle another serious change in his life?  Possibly.  OK, yes.
Can he handle another serious change in his life?  Possibly.  Maybe.  HOPEFULLY?

I can't bring myself to say yes to that one, because I don't know the answer.  That's the thing with aspies, you can't know about the future.  Focus on today.  But with "Transition Planning Meetings", we are basically trying to plan a future in HS, with supports in place that he will need in order to be successful, not have a depressive breakdown, and not bring havoc and rage to our family.

Although, ideally, I would like him to be hopeful, and faithful, and JOYFUL in Christ, right?
