You are welcome. I really do see it as special work. I worked with an Autistic boy a couple of summers ago for 16 hours a week, for 3 or so months while his usual program faciliator was on leave. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my whole entire life. He was such a sweet little boy, but I didn't have the training to deal with him properly, so I was very out of my league. But, working with him gave me a completely new appreciation for people who do that kind of work for a living. I can't do it. I'm special, but not that special. You are very special for being able to do what you do. :)
