> Parents can only do so much. Legit special needs is special needs. Agreed, to some extent. How far does society have to go in order to support children with <XYZ>? Is that "burden", for lack of a better word, society's problem? I don't think there is an easy answer. > Is the trade worth it? To you likely not. To the special needs families? I think so.

It is my duty to do the best I can for them. There seems to be an attitude that people are "owed" the best of the best and special treatment at all levels. That doesn't square with me. So long as I have a choice, I will control what I can control (which isn't much, honestly)...
