Hello

Luci

Hello, I am an autistic parent with two autistic children. 
 I would like some advice on how to handle this. 
my oldest son is very sensory avoidant as am I. My younger son on the other hand is very sensory seeking. I’ve ordered a few things and found a few things that help. But the screaming tantrums that happen *** me down. So hard. I can’t talk, I can’t be touched. It’s not fair for him to not get the attention he is needing and I do try to put my sensory issues on the back burner but I simply cannot handle it as an all time thing. He is four. He’s very lovable. I just need some advice on how to handle both sides of this I’m guessing.

    that in and of it self might be part of the solution. Him spending more time with them. but depending on his work it might be hard to organise.

    Thank you for clarifying. And to answer both questions. I deal with a lot of sarcasm in my personal life. Text is harder to read for it. And next he does but is not home often.

    Hello Luci.  I like to learn from others too and although I can't help you with your query, I am a bit intrigued by your response to Peter.  What makes you question whether he is being sarcastic?  I ask this because I cannot see why you may think that of his comment.  I would be grateful if you could help me understand (and I'm sure Peter would be interested too.)

    For the avoidance of doubt, I am neither being sarcastic nor intending harm nor upset to you in anyway by asking the above, I am just genuinely hoping to understand and learn from knowing.  Many of us struggle with communicating our intentions and motives and we find it helpful to explain things between ourselves.

    Thanks for your time with this and I hope you and your little ones find increasing happiness and contentment together.

    Kind regards, Number.
