Shout out to other autistic people with autistic children

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

    Hi, I’m a mother of a two year old, I think she is probably NT like her daddy, however I noticed her lining up toys, shoes, other stuff. Maybe it’s normal for this age, I’m observing her. She makes a lot of noise, so for me it’s challenging but earplugs save me. I always use the time when she is sleeping to have my only me time. She needs a lot of attention and quite often I get overwhelmed by just playing with her. My husband mentioned something about some siblings for her to play but I feel like then I would probably buy a one way ticket to Mars or Moon.
