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

  • I think we all have good and bad days. You should not blame yourself for having a bad day though.  I think the forum will prove to be usefull for you to vent your frustrations and also your good days.  A good idea is to join a local support group where you can chat to other parents and carers to share your stories and experiences.  I'm glad you are having a better day. Keep your chin up ok. Hope Luke is feeling ok today. My very best wishes to you both Smile
