I'm sorry it's been a tough day. I have very little patience for the 2 hour meltdowns either. Or the strange looks I get from parents of NT kids. I have no idea what was wrong with my DS this morning but every single step was like pulling teeth and I just didn't have the patience for it and I yelled. And then felt bad, because the NT kids can tell when they've gone too far and can correct their behaviour and avoid me blowing up, and DS1 can't.
Tomorrow will be better.

In my state, if you have an IEP and get services such as speech and OT via the school district, then Head Start does the therapy for free.
