I want to find out a way to get "s" to understand when I dealin with his brother and I say no or don't do that he understands, any ideas? Have you got autism or child with it?
you know i think tho moving will be a stressful thing for all of you, these things are usually for the best , if the change will (eventually) help him and his autism and help you all as well
i dont have kids no, my partner has aspergers, i find it a bit wierd being one of the rare ones on here this place, as most are, is filled with people with kids needing help, theres not a lot of options for adults with adult autistic partners
so im not that great to go to for advice for how to deal with autism in kids and the issues raised, but, im here for when people want a vent or i need one
and offer general advice on what i can
having young kids is something i know nothing about at all never mind young kids with autism, but i know a lot about stress so i can help with ways to feel better about how these things affect you etc
