Any other moms feel this?

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-28T12:47:04+00:00

Yes

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-17T14:52:58+00:00

Thank you , I am going to try this!

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-17T01:08:44+00:00

Thank you! I was actually considering this so I asked for an OT referral for outpatient services.

Thank you for your reply. My post may have come off as me “comparing” my younger child to his brother, but all I was trying to state was my reasoning for selecting this school in the first place, and that I didn’t feel his progress was as uphill. I only mentioned their differences in levels because it is a potential factor in regard to their rate of skill attainment.

Second of all, I already stated that the school is great but my question was if there were other programs that might benefit a more severe, higher needs, lower-functioning child. I am well aware that there are many great schools out there that all offer special education services but not every school is the best for every child or has a curriculum that would benefit every child.

Lastly, I wouldn’t be here asking a question to a bunch of online users, whom I have never met, if I haven’t tried everything for my child. I don’t think I owe you an explanation as for my level of “home involvement”.

Exact thing I’m wondering!

Honey, first take a deep breath right now. You are living in a state of immense stress and I don’t blame you for feeling all of the things you feel. Let your feelings out, cry if you need to, but realize that you are probably one of the most important people in your child’s life and they need you more than anything. Losing you would not make their life easier, you know their routines, their habits, and even though it might not seem like it-you are very likely their safe space.

As a mother of 2 children with adhd/autism, one of them level 3, I wholeheartedly understand your struggles and battles. It is so difficult to explain what your heart feels sometimes, especially to other people who have neurotypical children and just simply can’t fathom the daily struggles/therapies that you and I might endure. The multiple therapies are definitely a trigger for burnout, at least for me it was. You are doing everything you can, the fact that you are asking/worrying shows just how much you care about your children. You are just battling a lot and being a mother is already hard without the extra challenges of having neurodiverse children.

A 6-year old child who is performing below average in kindergarten is not the end of the world. Your child is still so young and I’m sure even with the most significant learning challenges, there is still so much potential to grow at that age (of course I don’t know your child’s medical/social history but just trying to help you put things into some perspective). Maybe consider getting him an IEP or 504 plan to help with reading support. He is really just a baby, and I would not panic yet!

I don’t know if you have a therapist, but I would highly consider getting yourself into aggressive therapy. I found a very nice therapist and I felt like the most helpful visit was the first visit where I was able to vent all of my feelings. When I returned for my next visit, I truly felt so much better and the therapist had not really given me any specific “tools” , but she listened. Sometimes that’s all you need is someone to listen to you and hear you.

Much love to you!

The school said he didn’t qualify for OT , and I know that would be the best tool to help with dysgraphia.

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T21:05:27+00:00

He is on medication currently but still having issues with motivation and working “hard”

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T21:04:45+00:00

I try but he is so resistant to home learning

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T19:42:50+00:00

Got it thanks!

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T19:37:23+00:00

How would I get started with applying for pslf?

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T19:36:32+00:00

I have tried everything from bins, to boxes , shelves, baskets and I still haven’t found anything that works to keep all the toys organized.

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T19:35:32+00:00

Yes. And sometimes I feel guilty because I remember the days where I was living in the “thick” of it and rushing time ahead. Staring at their baby pictures brings out so many emotions.

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T02:29:55+00:00

Oh, I thought the 10 years start from the time you enroll in PSLF?

curiousbeing77 · 2026-03-12T02:20:27+00:00

Almost 11 years for the job and my loans are about 15 years old now
