I just realized something. I wish i had a father who was able to speak (or type out) his feelings and emotions. It would be so much easier for me to read what he was experiencing, and then respond in a better matter than when I'm trying to figure out in what kind of mood he's in...

Wii fit is great! I have only lost six pounds since summer, but losing it slowly is the way to keep it off. About Steph - I have been very troubled about the trend in SpEd here in Washington, particularly in my district. More and more students who are not quite ready are mainstreamed. Two of our four SpEd teachers don't even have traditional classes at all as such. They are to go to the classrooms of the students to monitor and help them. Same for the aides. I have seen more and more students who are just like your daughter, high functioning ASD with anxiety put into traditional classes and even though middle school students do have drama and trauma on a near daily basis, ASD kids have more difficulty "getting over" it. One young lady in choir (next door to me) keeps coming into my room because the choir is too big for her. Her case manager does not want her in band...so the problem keeps going and going. If they just had one or two classes with the SpEd teacher to ground them - give them a place where they feel they can be safe, maybe they can venture out. Charity (the young lady I was mentioning) is out in the hall a lot trying to deal with the overload. My prayers still with you about Steph.
