I am a 30 year old single mom to 3 children, I have high functioning autism and I don’t have any connection with any other autistic adults. I have a really supportive family and a few friends but I often feel alone with my autism. I constantly feel like I am only just keeping my head above water trying to be the best I can for my children. I am being pressured by the job centre to get back into work but my anxiety is very bad at the moment. My youngest daughter is only 2 and I have minimal help from my children’s dad for childcare or finances. I feel like I’m drowning and no one quite understands just how much my autism affects me every day. hopefully there’s someone out there who can reassure me that I’m not the only one who feels like this
Hi,
Welcome.
I know that there are some other autistic mothers on here. It may be worth changing your username, so that it stands out (there are lots of NASnumbers that come and go very quickly) This post won't disappear.
Thank you have just worked out how to change the name.
