Yes, I understand completely about the wariness to trust people, and I'm lucky that one of my closest friends works with children with autism, and so I tend to go to her with any questions I have, and she was really good with helping Maddie get proper care during school hours. But I know a lot of parents in similar situations who just don't feel able to trust newcomers, which is completely understandable. And heartbreaking tbh, that this is the kind of world we live in where that has to be such a big concern. Sigh *hugs you all*
