Hello I am a recently diagnosed female. I am 26 and have 3 children under 5.
I wonder if any other parents are here so I can hear your experiences of parenting and being married.
I helped raise kids myself ( still one left 17yrs ) and I am married. I would consider myself not a good parent and I now believe that ithis s to due to my autism. Sorry there is no way I am going to give advice on parenting, except to take up meditation (mindfulness/zen). This has helped me considerable in the last couple of years.
