Abstract	The author, a mother of Lauren, a three-year-old girl diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, describes her anxieties and worries in sending her daughter to preschool. She worried that Lauren's GFCF diet might not be followed and that she might regress with the overwhelming options and stimulation that school offered. The author describes her process of "letting go" and trusting Lauren's teachers, therapists, aids, and a family support specialist to help not only "mainstream" Lauren into school and life, but also in their acceptance of "frazzled, worried, and exhausted parents with questions they don't know how to ask, broken and late appointments and general "bad days" along with glorious moments of success." (ERIC).
