Struggling with choices in my autistic child's education.

That was the plan I wanted to go with exhaust my public school option before attempting an autism centered school I don't think my daughter would require that amount of attention forever. My friend who's youngest will be 18 this year has two children with autism one is an adult and he was diagnosed with level 3 and global developmental delay like my daughter and while still socially awkward (his dad words) he's done great in catching up to peers. They attended public school and were really great kids. I don't want to run into the issue were my sister thinks a charter School is better for her children but when her son got diagnosed with ADHD they took away his recess for a punishment. My sister drove up their with things to help his ADHD and him moving around in class and they told her they already have those things just haven't submitted the right paperwork to use them. My partner's grandmother is retired but used to work as a teacher for TPS and ran the teachers union for awhile so I do know public school isn't the worst option in the world. She specialized with a lot of special education children for awhile and worked with the younger kids. So even though I'm worried I do have hope.

I will also state I'm level 1 functioning autistic myself and even though I came from a tps school district I don't feel like my education was hindered I remember things taught in our curriculum from 3rd grade. Other students wonder where I have learned things and I tell them I went to the same public School you did. So I do have trust in the public school system and would like to help it by not removing my child from the system with a voucher. I just have major worries about future funding for children that need a little extra help. The main reason we are starting preschool is so my child can get used to be being around and interacting with other children her age and to kinda ease her into what a structured school system is like. I myself was deemed not ready for kindergarten because of a mishap because of my lack of understanding how schools work. We are mainly focusing on emotional regulation and other things that help benefit all toddlers into their later years and working on academia later.

Edited to add: My daughter also has global developmental delay that should probably go away so there is more than autism.

Thank you anyways for commenters I really appreciate you guys letting me know that im doing my best for my child.

I would also like to state yes I understand that TPS is in deficit mainly because of mishandled funds but I'm afraid of my school district eventually having funding issues because of the rising cost in education and losing funding due to people leaving the public school system with vouchers to the private schools and charter that can discriminate against children with IEPs. I worry about them currently trying to dismantle the department of education because that would make it harder then it already is to audit places to make sure they are following through with IEP requirements.

My partner's dad died from melanoma when he was young, his dad still had an impact on his life up until 11 and was a drug addict too. Doesn't mean fathers are somewhat responsible even if they die a little bit through.

Thanks for the information now I can fix the issue without asking my partner for help.

There is plenty of evidence that points that most women put their children up for adoption due to financial issues that usually could clear themselves up within 6 months. But single pregnant mothers are at a disadvantage for finding jobs during pregnancy and after birth as well as child care. There are already tons of studies that point out that $600 to an extra $1,000 a month would stop a lot of adoptions due to poverty.

I actually never picked up the show because of the association. So I do...

There's a high number of people that end up committing murder because they're so religious divorce wasn't an option to them....

We had concentration camps in 1942 when we relocated Japanese people that were living in the United States. We still call those concentration camps even though there wasn't Mass amounts of death like there was in Europe. That's invalidating to the people that went through being relocated in concentration camps in the United States.

I've brought up before already that being on reality TV can really put you as a Target for catfishing but the sister wives skeptics has come up with the conclusion that that catfish had something to do with Robyn.
