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

Lipgloss

please, anyone, share your experiences!  I found  the whole marriage thing exhausting enough,  but since I had 2 kids - life became IMPOSSIBLE...  I never even wanted kids...and still don't... 

Parents

    Have you considered applying for respite from the Council?

    Where children are involved SS are a double-edged sword.  There is so little autism awareness and the consequences this can have for a family if they are misunderstood could be devastating.  They tend to look to blame all the time, and because they (purportedly) put the children first, they have no interests in supporting the parents.  Things can go awry very quickly with SS, and it could be a worse scenario for her than she is currently in.  I think that she needs to agree a mutually workable solution with her husband, whatever that is, just ensure the children don't suffer.
