I was lucky that my son was able to go to school. He loved the socialization but I needed that so I could work. I was able to find a job that let me work around his schedule and they were flexible with his hospital stays. I used FMLA once. He's an adult now and home with me and out of school. If I couldn't work from home I would have to quit my job. I'm lucky I've been with my company for 18 years. I've had very flexible bosses.. We really need more options.. trying to find a day program is impossible there just aren't any

I was so grateful - time and time again - that I was already a home mom when my daughter got diagnosed. There is no way I could have worked a set schedule with the needs to be available - both at the drop of a hat if something happened at school (seizure) and for many many appointments.
