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

    loneliness might make me give up one day

    I cant tell you how much this quote has helped me this evening, I actually dont have words. Every time he has been tough to deal with this evening I have just looked at him and reminded myself of this and it has kept me going. Truly, you dont know how much that has meant to me 

    I am sorry to hear you are so lonely and I really hope you dont give up. I dont know how helpful you find online friends but you have always been someone on here that I have found it easy to talk to and anytime you want to talk I am here
