Our journey started this January. My family and friends don't understand as my 4 year old is on the 'high functioning' side and assume he's okay. I'm tired. I'm tired of the meltdowns and sensory overloads. I miss family days out free of anxiety and tantrums. My 2 year old daughter is missing out as her brother restricts us with what we can do and where we can go. I want to be a normal family. I want this guilt and resentment to go away. I sacrifice my time and energy and leisure on my little boy. My marriage is beginning to crumble after 7 happy years.
Currently looking up on services and support such as local groups and dla. Figuring out how to get a carer assessment too. I don't know what these lot have in store for me but my mind is open to anything that will keep me sane.
Who knew this would be so isolating.
