Questions and Answers: Understanding Feelings

	1. How do you get rid of or channel the huge amount of anger you feel when you have to fight the "system" ... I get so drained and discouraged...
	2. I find that my skin hasn't toughened up as much as I would like it too when it comes to going out in the community with my six year old son, who has autism. How should I respond to disgusted looks or comments from people?
	3. My son Michael is mentally challenged. He is seven and was especially close to my father who passed on June 27 How do I help him through what is clearly his grief and or lack of clarity about what happened?
	4. I'm a relatively new parent to this new world of "special children". ..My baby girl was born with Down syndrome. The shock has faded..., but I'm finding I'm having tremendous guilt.
	5. I am a single adoptive parent...The recent horrific events here in the U. S. are very frightening to my children and myself. How can I offer reassurance and support to my children, when I am just as concerned and frightened myself?
	6. “I'm stressed out with the holidays this year-on top of everything else I don't know what to buy for my child with special needs. Can somebody help... this?”
