Default Your twins

This is tough. I have a special needs daughter who is 10. She has Down syndrome with some autistic tendencies. (She stims all the time if you are familiar with that one.) Also, her language is very delayed.

I hope you live in an area that provides respite/habiltation. I have someone come into my house each week to work my with my daughter. It helps so much and gives me a break so when I am watching my daughter I have more patience since I haven't had to hear all the yelling and screaming all day. (I have 4 kids so it also gives me time with my other kids.)

Your twins are young. Two is a tough age. It gets better and better each year. Really! Take it day by day and see if your state offers assistance. It is NOT based on income in Arizona where I live. ANYBODY who qualifies is eligible.
