I have three of my children in various forms of therapy. My oldest has Aspergers, my daughter takes speech, and my current youngest does OT and PT and speech. There are things that need to be taken into account with children with special needs, but they need to realistic. For my oldest it means anyone who cares for him knows he gets over stimulated and can't watch TV. If he seems to get over stimulated he needs down time with a book by himself. The other things we deal with at home. My daughter doesn't need any special accommodations, and my youngest just needs a caregiver who is sensitive and gentle with him as his joints can dislocate. Nothing way out there.

It seems this mother wants you to provide ALL the special care for the child. There has to be some give on her part. The world isn't going to adjust to her kids all the time, she needs to make adjustments that work for her children but are doable in the real world.
