Dysfunctional family!

NAS62449

Hi

does anyone have more than 1 child with ASD?

i have 2 boys close in ages. 1 has a diagnosis, 1 does not but I am sure he has it too.

i know all siblings fight but they are at each other’s throats constantly.

we cannot have any family outing without shouting, arguing. Even physical fighting.

it makes life so hard and unless we all split up as a family it’s hard to have a nice time.

i can’t help comparing to friends families and how chilled out life seems in comparison. 

this then leads me to think is this my parenting? Am I to blame?!

then I think we’ll their kids don’t have SEN.

can anyone relate?!

thanks Smiley

  • All brothers fight - it's normal - I've NEVER met any boys who don't hate/fight each other.    The usual rule is 'no visible marks' so the parents don't find out.       I've had my nose broken twice by my twin brother - couldn't hide that.  Smiley.

    You're not dysfunctional - but you will worry and get annoyed.     Why not tag-team them if they loathe each other so much?   Just take one each and do separate things - you will find it so much less stress even if it doesn't *feel* correct or normal - lowering stress makes it all worth it.

    Other families always put on a 'public' face but it's the same everywhere - their sons will be kicking the crap out of each other too.  Smiley
