Sue,

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I'd do about the driving thing. My boyfriend could support me some of the time in terms of rides, but not in others. I don't know what I'm going to do abou that.

I have already cut out aspartme, as it's bad for the brain in general. I'm working on clean eating now. I dont' seem to be effected by cell phones, as I used one frequently and have not seen a relation between the two.

Is there a way to get assistance somehow with not being able to drive that you know of?

I too am in Special Ed. My degree will be a master's in early intervention with a specialization in autism. I am also going to sit for my board certified behavior analyst exam when I finish school. My experience with TBI has resulted in me having a variety of sensory symptoms, which has defintely changed the way I practice with my kiddos!

Hi Mindy,

If there is a Gadabout which is a local van that picks people up with disabilities or elderly people you might be able to get a ride back and forth with them. They will come to your home and pick you up. The other things that I have done in the past is put an ad in the local paper or asked friends if they wand to make some extra money and I pay them for taking me back and forth to work. The only other thing you might want to check out is to see if you have a local epilepsy support group in your area and they may be able to give you some info and tell you what to do.

Take my word working in Special Ed. can keep you busy. If you do work with kids who are autistic you may see them having sz. also. Recently in a study that was done they have found that some people who are autistic will later have sz. in their life. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
