This weekend was a big risk. One week after her sixteenth birthday party and the bumps in the road she suffered there, we took Schuyler to Las Vegas to attend a surprise fiftieth birthday party for one of my best friends (and Schuyler's godfather). Last weekend, she was undone by a gathering of her school friends that she basically sees every day, over pizza and games. We followed that up with a trip to Las Vegas, a place that is the very physical manifestation of the concept of overstimulation. It's safe to say that we were concerned.
I admit I'm a bit confused by your statement that Schuyler has just 5 semesters left. In my state, kids with special needs have the option of staying in HS until the day before they turn 22. Have you already decided that extended high school is not an option?
