I’m so sick of my family being on my back about getting my son in headstart. It’s driving me crazy. For one, every time we even go to the store he gets sick and then passes it to his brother. So I know he will be sick a lot. And then covid makes me worry even more.

Two, hes autistic and I can’t find a local school with a program for autistic kids. I don’t know how they will do having a child that still needs help with diapers and such.

Three, I’m worried he will get teased. Kids can be so mean. He’s just 4 and has a lot of quirks and things I don’t want him doing in public and I don’t want him hurting other children since he bites.

This topic is wearing me out. He would get two years of headstart the way his birthday is so even if he didn’t start until after the summer he would still get a full year of headstart. Is headstart something all kids do or just some? Any autism mommas out there with advice? This subject is really wearing me down and I feel like I’m being pushed to do something I don’t want to do right now. I guess it would be best for him but he’s with me 24/7 I know what he needs when he needs it cause he can’t tell anyone he’s thirsty, hungry or if something is bothering him. I just have to watch for his cues. I don’t know what to do.
