Homeschooling, autism and emotions
I would like to report great progress at our homeschooling journey, but there are several small ones. My son is still struggling with his reading program, because of inconsistency. In part is my fault because of my depression and inconsistency. I have to admit I have to re-evaluate my priorities towards my son.
Don't get me wrong, I know he and my other girls are the most important chore God has gave me, but this burn-out deal has giving me big doubts if I am doing the right thing to homeschool him. It's just that (and I know there are single moms homeschooling that have felt that way) it feels like you are all alone. I even can't go to my hs support group meetings because of my son's therapy sessions... Oh well, there will be better days, I just know it.
Just a note, April is Autism Awareness month, and in Puerto Rico, there are several groups that are promoting that school is best for a child with autism can socialize properly and I had to shout that I don't believe the same. There is so much to share about homeschooling... People still think that hs is to isolate a child, it's the contrary! But it's sad to think that because you think diferently, you cannot share your ideas and situations with others. We still have so much to learn about how people can live together with different opinions...
