Hello I,ve been lingering for a while...thought i,d say hi

Hi Im Kim and I have a five year old son who is autistic. He was diagnosed with mild to moderate. I have really good days and cope very well but sometimes its so hard. We have two older children so have done it all before. I think the hardest thing is being shouted at constantly and I feel like I cant be me anymore. I love him so much and I know I probably need to sort myself out. Im tired all the time , feel quite depressed and cant really talk to anyone about how im feeling. There is not alot of interaction as he spends a long time playing on his laptop. But he likes me with him so I dont get an awful lot done.I m going on, what do I sound like. 

Is this pretty normal ?

But besides all this miserable stuff ...hello everyone

  • Thankyou for the replies , its good to look on forums like this as it really does feel like you are the only one going through this. I was having a bad day yesterday , It was my fault really , Luke should have gone on a school trip but the weather was horrid so I let him stay at home.....mistake...messed with his routine so he pretty much took it out on me . I can laugh now as Its just so normal really , he told me I d destroyed his life because I couldnt get something to work on his laptop..lol hes only 5. and the amount of times he tells me he hates me. but I know he doesnt mean it , its just so black and white for him sometimes. I love him with all my heart and wouldnt change him for the world Smile
