Hi everyone,
I am a single mother with two children one of which is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder this July. We were referred 3 years ago ( after constant insistence to school to make referral!!!).
My son is a different guy always was. I didn’t notice his being different until my little girl was born and only then I could see clearly that something isn’t right with him. I blame myself for not realising it earlier but I didn’t know by then right?
today we all live in a studio flat - 3 of us sleeping in one double bed. He wants his space so badly and I can’t do anything about it 
He likes me time and He also likes 1to 1 but I can’t do much for him and feel guilty.
I have been through DV and I have post traumatic stress disorder myself. I battle with school to get him SNA special needs assessment and I can’t believe even after being diagnosed with autism school stands it’s ground s that my son is Okay
they weren’t helpful at all. I know change means lots of emotional pain for autistic children but I don’t want my son continue studying at that school where let alone 1to1 he doesn’t get involved neither in games nor in class activities with peers
I feel emotionally drained with all this going on. I don’t get much support tbh neither school not housing needs no other organisations and this makes me feel down
Just wanted to write about myself
