I am so upset! I have friends that have a older child with autism and his older brother is in the army. The older brother just finished a tour of duty in Iraq and was deployed to Germany. His mom wanted to see him, so they took the older child out of school for their 10 day trip to Germany. He is in a life skills class not academic classes so she figured that he could miss school. When they got back, he went to school and he came home quoting "and he's on medicaid" which he said was from his teacher.
I think they have every right to save their money and go to Germany to see their son who has been fighting for our country in Iraq.
But now, she is afraid that she will somehow lose benefits for him - especially the program that will take care of him when they have passed away. I told her I didn't think this could happen. She said their are all sorts of cuts being made. I said, if you qualify for those programs, you qualify. Taking a trip does not make you not qualify.
How this relates to Disney is she is canceling our trip next October because of this. I am just sick.
I can't believe how petty this teacher was. I wish my friend would not worry, but I know how important that program is to his future. I just can't see how they can take away something you qualify for, just because you take a trip.
Any advice for her or me?
