This subject is close to my heart and it hurts to discuss it, but yes the help parents with special needs children get is pitiful, and so many people like myself find themselves in situations too difficult to even comprehend. No loving parent should find themselves in a position like I have been in due to a lack of funding, or worse still the inability of professionals to diagnose your child's problems. Lack of support and understanding, its hard enough having a precious, special child but when they suffer from some other complication such as cancer for example, no parent should have to try to cope without adequate support or empathy. Keep your chin up, I think the role of wonderful loving parents to these very special children is beginning to be recognized, from some-one who has been there, and by choice will always be there, you are important, its really hard! Take care!
