Cry for help

Billy87

I am really confused and just need some help. 

How do I cope with being autistic myself and having a severely autistic son? I feel sometimes like I can cope with either my autism or his but not both. When he is screaming high pitched screams at me or hitting me or pinching or throwing things at me it is the ultimate sensory overload. I dont know how to cope with it and help him while Im having a sensory overload and meltdown myslef

Please help, I have no other autistic people I can talk to about this at the moment and I am so lonley and confused

  • I'm sorry you feel this. The times my son did this when young I was able to work out the problems. There was an issue with Chocolate: it would cause incredible meltdowns. I didn't know I wasn't coping when he was young, so I was a bit on auto-pilot and not taking care of myself like I needed. It can be really hard. Do you have a friend or a group you attend weekly?
