fed up.

HappyDays

hi everyone,

im sooo fed up at the moment. its just one thing after another, after another. im sick up to the back teeth of problems related to school. most recently my daughter at special school seems to be having problems with a teaching assistant, who just dosnt seem to understand Autism very well, and the difficulties my daughter has, ive had to phone the school to sort things out before they get out of hand. im gutted really we as a family with other autistic chidren have always had problems with settings but i thought this one was ok. eldest daughter having a nightmare at her school, bullies etc i have one boy at home and i just cant find a setting suitable, was looking at an autism specific but reading their policys put me off, apparantly if you have a problem with the way the school deals with somthing the school will look into it however if you are not satisfied with the outcome, the school can refuse to investigate further and if you continue to complain they will do you for harassment.?.not good if you genuinly feel the school is wrong. i usually keep plodding on but im just not myself at the moment, at an apointment last week with my daughter someone suggested somthing to me that has knocked me off course a bit. My family has disowned us becsuse they cant cope with us all, and i dont have friends i dont really do friends, and those i do get dont hang around for long. im just fed up. will anything ever go right?

  • Not surprised you're feeling low. Like Supermummy, I've only got 1 child on the spectrum (with 2 others) but that causes enough issues at times. I think the main thing for me at the moment is the isolation. We really avoid visiting people as a family because it can all just get too much. M gets wound up really easily, particularly by his older brother, who just can't resist the challenge and then they're fighting or arguing and it's loud and antisocial. So we just don't do it very often. I'm already stressing about visiting family at Christmas - am I going to be able to keep it all under control etc etc? So, if that's with 1, it must get very difficult and lonely with 4.

    But, there are good bits and as they're getting older, on the whole it's improving. As M matures, he's getting more able to express himself, particularly to us, but also at school, where in the past we've had huge problems. So I think it does get better.

    Hang on in there - you're not alone.
