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

  • Hi Billy I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. I honestly can't imagine how difficult it must be for you. I'm not a mum and I struggle to cope with my own problems let alone look after a child.

    When he's screaming could you try to distract him maybe with a fav toy or maybe a song he really likes? I'm sorry if that's not much help.

    Please feel free to message me to vent when you need to. It's good to talk and get things off your chest xx
