Hello to whoever may read this,
I am a mum of 3 Beautiful children and been hit with some challenges I really don't know how to handle I am trying everything I can to help My 6 year old Daughter who we have recently found out she has i Diagnoses of ADHD and Autism level 2 who also has a Sensory processing disorder which is pretty Severely hard to handle and manage most days along with super fussy eater which having all this is making our life pretty hard as it effects all aspects of our life and our youngest is now doing monkey see monkey do which is making it more fun said no one ever and then you have my oldest who is 8 has a language developmental delay as well and is starting to act out.
To add to the mix a husband who doesn't understand that we need to do things differently but try's but would do so much better if he had more patience.
I love my children but i miss being able to go out with my children anywhere and not having to think off all of things. Now I struggle to take them anywhere by myself due to my 6-year-old and her meltdowns and clothing issues I also i miss how my Husband and I used to be.
Hello NAS91519,
I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with your children. The NAS website has a page about 'meltdowns' which gives some tips about what to do when a child has a meltdown, anticipating it and minimizing triggers. Here is the link: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/meltdowns/all-audiences
All the best,
Karin Mod
This would be great if I was from their but I am from Australia brisbane
You are by no means alone in this. The best support is from parent to parent groups such as the excellent Pinpoint Cambridgeshire Tii Hub Zoom meetingssee pinpoint-cambs.org.uk/.../
I guess my Question here is how is everyone managing with all these sorts of things? What are your Tips and what are you giving your child to help them ?
