I'm so sorry about Small. I take it that they don't have any special programs for her because she is autistic.

Is it better or worse that she is getting older? I mean, do you feel any bit better that she is getting old enough ton take a little more care of herself when alone. Or is it that now she's getting big enough that she can get into bigger trouble. I really don't have experience with autism and wish I had any suggestions for you. *hugs*

My love to you and your family.
