Hi there.
I’ve now got a 4 and 2 year old girls who are amazing and very full on. Nobody is diagnosed… but…. Since having kids I’ve really struggled. I’ve always pondered about autism for years but never really dug into it. But after the last year I started doing some tests etc and scoring high to suggest traits are similar. Ps I’m 46 and a bloke and now I’m obsessed about this and can’t stop my head thinking about diagnosis or what to do.
Anyway, Ive always managed day to day. Getting through ok. Keeping the smile on and not having many melt downs. But that changed since the added stresses of the kids have come along. And the added noise (which I’ve really struggled with). And the added “fly off the handle” moments because of silly things (like the Yorkshire puds not being perfect therefore I’ve ruined everything!!). Not sure if it’s because I don’t get any time to sort my head out like before or just the added stress is now bringing the traits out more…..and reading a lot of information and posts on here has really hit home with how I feel.
But I guess im asking out there if anything like that has happened to anyone else… changes in your circumstances has made you understand more about what’s going on in your head due to not managing as well as before?
Thanks anyone for reading!!
just needed to get something off my chest.
