It's so hard, isn't it? We went through nearly the exact same thing. I provide tutoring services for homeschoolers, and in my area there are a lot of neurodivergent kids who are homeschooling. The school districts still don't get it. It helps to talk about it, and hopefully our words will break through eventually.
Happy birthday to Ian! And lots of compassion to you about all those regrets....I know that feeling well, and living with the simultaneous truth that I was doing the best I could and that in hindsight I could have done better had I done things differently isn't always easy.
I felt your pain! My son never had a single family vacation since kindergarten. All our extra saving were used for attorney to keep my son in mainstream and for private tutors.
Sending you all lots of wonderful birthday wishes. No matter how hard a haul it's been, Ian is so lucky to have a mom like you who fights for him and encourages his success. Hope the watch is a big hit! Happy 22!

Happy Birthday!! I hope you had a great celebration.
I am right there with you on the PTSD from school, for myself and for my kid, for sure.
