My 10 year old daughter has autoimmune liver disease. It also affects her kidneys and bladder. She is being lined up for transplants. Its devastating to her, and the family. Yet, despite numerous letters and meetings with her consultants, therapists, and social services, the moronic arrogant staff at her school refuse to take it seriously and cause her and us unbelievable problems and stress. It borders abuse.

I'm very sorry to hear that. My wife has an as yet in diagnosed autoimmune issue. It's looking like either lupus or MS, but we have to wait until she's churned through the system to get a proper diagnosis. Luckily, her work place has been extremely understanding and supportive. But we've heard stories of people who see initial understanding that quickly turns sour. I hope all goes well with your daughter and that she can have a happy and healthy life.

Do you think home schooling could be an option? I've never looked in to it as we don't have children ourselves. I hated school because most of my teachers and the staff weren't qualified to teach tricks to a dog, much less teach life lessons and knowledge to children.
