Struggling

NAS75455

Hi , I have Autism and I have just found out that my 2 year old daughter may have Autism too ( waiting for her to get assessed) .  I’m really struggling trying to manage her , she has meltdowns , doesn’t want to wear clothes or go outside . Wondering if anyone on here has Autism and has kids too , I just need some advice or tips

  • When we struggle against the natural rhythms of life, we create resistance and opposition and this is what leads to struggle. With struggle there is no joy and rarely any reward. In fact, for some people struggle is the reward. ... They justify this joyless existence by saying things like, “that's life.

    Then some of them decide that people like us are not struggling enough...

    And since "misery likes company", they brighten up their little lives by adding a bit of struggle to YOUR life.

    And I find that if I struggle to achieve a goal, by the time I get what I was aiming for, it sure DOES NOT "taste sweeter". I don't mind working for a goal, and achieving it, that is a great feeling, but struggling for a goal is just a draining sensation, which does exactly what you say, it sucks the joy out of life. A classic example is being a pilot, any of us will tell you, it's better being on the ground looking up and wishng you were there, than it is being up there struggling to survive ( unexpected weather, for example) and wishing you were on the ground.

    There's a subtle, but vital difference between "workiing hard" and "struggling".
