Father who I struggling with his sons autism.

NAS76880

I am called M

My son is being assessed for ASD and I am struggling to cope with how to look after him. I bought a book but it barely scratched the surface and left me more confused.

I really struggle with him and it I feel like a rubbish dad because I dont do much with him as I dont know what to do.

This has caused my marriage to his mum to fall apart and I need help desperately.

Does anyone know any resources or help in the greater Manchester area please?

Thanks in advance

M

  • I'm both autistic and the father of an autistic daughter and there really is no ''single best way' of being a parent. Researching autism is good, 'The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome' by Tony Attwood, is probably the best single volume (though 'Asperger's' is in the title it is relevant to ASD). Autistics are people, and autistic children are children; giving any child a stable, loving home is the best thing to do.
