I am a parent of an 8 year old with Aspergers, I’ve always been into mountains and outdoor adventure activities, but it’s so hard now to do any, and maybe get 2 weekends a year to go and play in the mountains. With everything that single parenting an autistic child brings, I feel like I’ve lost half of myself by not being able to do what used to give me so much joy. I realise this may seem trivial in light of all the daily challenges our little ones endure, but I wonder if anyone else understands the pull of the outdoors and feels my pain at often not being able to get my little one out the front door let alone up a mountain?
