My son was diagnosed autistic 2 years ago. I went on a mission to "heal him". Since then he has made amazing progress, we as a family have worked hard together to help him develop speach, deal with social skills etc. But now I am having depression. I fear everything, is this normal? I feel I have to plan everything for my son from trust funds to education, because I don't want him just left "out there" in the world, on his own, with no-one to help him. Do other mums feel this way too? I love my 3 kids and want them all too succeed but with my autistic son, I do worry what the future holds for him especially with all these cuts. Would appreciate of anyone else feels the same anxiety or is it just me?
