how people on the spectrum cope with being parents???

Hi

Just wondered how your children are coping with all this.  Children are very  good at blaming themselves when parents are not responsive to their needs.  This can either make the children push harder for reassurance, or they become more insular, withdrawing into themselves.

Do your children have special needs?  This in itself can make parenting more challenging.

Maybe if you had a scheduled day when you could do your own thing might help, this would also give you something to look forward to, to recharge your batteries.
