MY advice ... Follow your heart , but listen to your body . I know you LOVE those kids and I know the impact that they have on your life , as I too work with Autistic children.

So we both know as well the physical strain it takes on you and the mental and emotional. For me I needed it I felt it was best for me and finacially it was needed. BUt now I am out for 8 weeks AGAIN ! UGHHHHH

You need to reach deep and decide, Maybe you can go very limited part time or even volunteer so that you have that contact but not nessacarilly the responsibilty. I know I am not staying away for 8 weeks I can't . And I know you understand why ..I had just gotten instructional control, I cant stay away for 8 weeks and go back in or I am at square one and it will be sooo physical when I go back .

So I am going to go in every now and then to visit and sit in so that they see me there and still know that I am there .BUT I wont be dealing with behaviors. SO I hope you can search your heart and do what is best for you ... CA sounds awful nice too !!
