B had a cold this past week which means he wasn’t allowed in school.

Fine, since he wasn’t up for it anyway.

But now he’s better and for him to return I need either a negative COVID19 test or a note from his pediatrician saying it’s just a cold.

Or we can also return 10 days after the initial onset of symptoms which will be Monday.

This will mean he’s only missing 2 days where he would have normally been able to go pre-COVID.

But two days is A LOT.

I tried the pediatrician route. He would have to be seen in person; a nightmare for a kid like mine and scary for me since he can’t wear a mask.

Getting a test done presents similar horrors.

So now we have no choice but to wait.

Did I mention that school is only for 4 hours a day currently? For me it’s usually less too, because I can’t realistically get my child anywhere at 8:30am.

Oh, and disturbances in routine are SUPER FUN for autistic kids 😭

In short: I hate it here.
