Hi All
I am at home looking after my 8yo ASD son. It's half term. And I feel unbelievably frustrated. I was wondering if anyone can help????
I can't go out (he's refused, and I know better than to push it). I can't get on with any jobs. He's interrupting me every two-and-a-half minutes. He camps on my knee. He blocks the light. He won't get himself absorbed in any activity (I've banned TV). He wants attention.
Sometimes I think the answer is for me to get up and do something that he can get involved in. Making a cake is the obvious answer but I don't particularly WANT to make a cake.
What I want to do is to breathe, slowly and deeply. To have half an hour to gaze into the middle distance. Perhaps think, my own thoughts, until the world seems more stable (that might take a while). Perhaps journal a bit. And then maybe, when I feel more whole, go out for a walk (slowly, taking the opportunity to think as I do so).
Anyone got any tips????
