Update: 16 years old and still with autism part 2

The clashes with the school districts have always been a part of us. We are really so popular somehow as much I as dislike it to the max. Perhaps, it will never end as Ax is on his 11th grade and we are still unclear if he will stay at the public school after graduation. Unfortunately, he has still no good control of himself and with this I mean, anger. It is surreal that even with smallest things, he can get angry. Well, it also happens to normal persons but for kids with autism, it is 10 times more unsettling to have their anger be exposed especially as they grow older.

I mentioned the school districts because we have been to three states and the story remains the same. Perhaps, that is our fate when it comes to our son with autism. I hate the word autism because it always mean a struggle, a fight for someone who can not help themselves and this brings frustration to us since we just want normalcy in our lives. Although this problem has not yet severed our marriage, our relationship with our son with autism and our relationship with the two other kids, we have anxieties of what the future is in store for us. I always hope that we will be able to cope and that "this too, shall pass" will always be there for us.
