I'm pissed not at anyone or anything to do with YT. As some of you may or may not know. My stepson(like my own) was killed in a tragic accident on 08/05. We just got back into town on the 12th. My son Ethan who is high functioning autistic missed the entire first week of school due to this and of course he is still upset about his brother, we were in a car accident yesterday I was waiting to pull out of Hardees I went for breakfast and he went with me. I was waiting for the traffic to clear sitting still in Hardees parking lot not moving when a motorcycle did a left hand turn going at least 25-30 mph and slide right into the side of my car destroyed the back door on the drivers side and of course this is where my son was sitting. Well totaled her motorcycle and probably did at least 1500 damage to my car don't know yet. When get the police report I will be calling her insurance company and filing the claim if she hasn't done so by then. Anyway of course the first thing I did was ask Ethan if he was ok he said yes, the police officer on the scene asked if he was ok and he said yes. We gave the officers our information and she told me that I was free to go and that I could pick up a copy of the police report on Wednesday. When we get home and get out of the car the first thing that Ethan says is my ribs hurt. Great, I told him to finish his breakfast and then I took him to the emergency room luckily nothing broken just soreness.

This morning I take him to school to drop off paperwork and see if I need to do anything else where he was gone all week. I was informed when I got there that he had been transfered to another school. I was livid I thought what else can go wrong. He has been at this school since he was 4 years old. I'm not taking this lying down. I'm fighting it. The school they have sent him to will mean an additional bus ride time of 30 - 60 each day depending on traffic. I just don't think he can handle it. He loves school and his teachers and his classmates. I'm just scared to death that he may regress. So I'm fighting it. I'm waiting to hear back from the Autism coordinator but of course she is in meetings all day. My husband thinks I'm making too big of a deal out of this and I told that he was out of it that I would do whatever it took to make sure he stays where he is at. His teachers are as upset about this as I am. I just don't have the heart to tell him that they want him to go to a different school. I'm afraid that he won't like it. I keep thinking why move him from a school that has helped him so much he only has 2 more years there before he goes on to middle school.

What do you guys think? Am I being too emotional or do you agree with me?

Sorry I just still had some venting to do
