Hello! Another special needs mom here. My son Willie was diagnosed with autism when he as 2. He is now 17. He is also nonverbal, ID, and the most recent diagnosis bipolar disorder.
This summer hasn't been great, but it's not the worst by far. He is struggling with bad sleep - waking up in the middle of the night for a few hours or sometimes not going back to sleep at all. And when he's up we're all up. The past 4 nights he has slept through and I feel so good. Like a new woman! Right now Willie is in ESY. His school does a great job with ESY and we have a few more weeks of it which is good.
I love this thread. It's been so interesting to read all of your stories and to remind myself that I'm not the only one in this place.
