As a mother of a special needs kid, I commend you for knowing that special needs kids is HARD and is not for you!! I wish that all care providers knew their limits. Don't feel bad. No one with any idea of what it's like will judge you. I took care of another special needs child, aside from my own, and I lasted just under two years before I HAD to call it quits for my own mental health; and I don't think that I will ever mix such a severe case with typical kids again.
