Hi everyone, my name is Sian I'm a mother of two children, my 12 year old son and my 7 year old daughter. My son has severe autism and we've all been through a lot over the past year. My ex-husband had thrown us out last summer then 2 weeks later moved his pregnant Hungarian girlfriend in. It's been a really difficult time as my children are constantly let down by their dad and the upheaval of moving from my sisters, to refuge and finally to our home where we have settled in well and my children are happier and the neighbours have been fantastic and welcomed us into the community.
Right now I need some help and advice on my son, so please come and say hi!!
Welcome to the community. You have a tough situation there. Do you think you need some additional help at home as you sound near to exhaustion. Presumably you are supported by camhs and they may be able to help you obtain some relief?
Does your son read or do any quieter activities that keep him engaged and help him settle towards bedtime?
