need help with accepting daughters have autism

boozy

i have 2 daughters 5 (diagnosed autism and LD's) in special school with statement and 14 (High Functioning Autism) in mainstream school on school action plus. I have only recently been up front and honest in saying to my family that i am struggling to accept the autism i've always been in denial. Every time they act say or do weird things it makes me cringe feel embarrased and i just want to run in the opposite direction. i feel shame and guilt at saying such things but i have to be honest. i am currently on anti depressants and awaiting psycholgical assistance. can anyone help me accept them for who they are i'm desparate as it's affecting all our lives.

  • Nothing you have said offended me as Ive had some of the same feeling as you, I think when I came to terms with the fact my daughter had autism things started to get easier.  

        it is hard work to have a child with autism and you have 2 so its hard ,   I hope things start to easier soon and you get the help you need.
