HiParent of twins, one of whom is diagnosed ASD and on wait for ADHD; other has been referred for ASD assessment. Going through the process with child A, became very aware that I was likely ASD and / or ADHD. Am presently awaiting assessment. Partner and Child C neurotypical. Presently struggling w/LA to get correct educational provision for Child A and Child B. (One of whom is not in school presently.) This has been ongoing for a long time. Frankly, I'm worn out - from holding down a full time job (recently changed), supporting two ASD kids - one of whom is prone to meltdowns and with whom I find it very hard to communicate effectively and trying not to be a lousy parent to Child C/partner to my significant other. How do you all cope?
