some questions about stress

star2717

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some information and would be really grateful if you could help.

I teach in a complex learning needs primary school and am currently studying for a postgraduate certificate in Autism.

I am researching how stress affects parents of children with Autism, what support is available to parents and what effect this support has. I'm hoping to use this research to set up a parent information and support group in the school.

I'd really like to know what parents find to be the most stressful issues, how you cope with these issues and if there is support available, what is the most useful form of support?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to reply to this post.

Parents
    • Lots of stress trying to sort out education issues at school
    • Ditto with bullying
    • Extreme stress with my son being asked to leave the school and all that entailed
    • Financial stress because we are living on one low income, as I have to be around for my son
    • Worries about the future, concern that my son should find contentment and valid place in society
    • Stress at not knowing what to do for the best, fear of taking the wrong path or not doing enough
    • a little stress dealing with other peoples views, however well intentioned
    • And a bit of extra worry for myself, no income, no career progression, no pension
