I really wanna connect with some other autistic people on here who also have autistic children.
It seems like most people on this forum are either here for their own autism or their kids autism. There doesnt seem to be many with both
I am autistic and so is my son. Sometimes its great because I can understand him and communicate with him in a way no one else in the family can and we have that amazing connection.
And yet at other times its almost impossible for me because when I need my space or quiet time is when he's at his most intense and demanding or when he's having meltdowns and I have to push through my own crash and sensory overload to be there for him. Its really tough sometimes
Just want to connect with some other autistic parents in my position for a bit of support
I'm not a parent but I wanted to say that you're doing really well and are an amazing person. You should be so proud for how well you're doing. I definitely couldn't cope being a parent.
