Lonely parent

NAS66882

Just wondering does any other parents or carers on there feels lonely. I got two on the spectrum, most days I just feel alone.

  • I'm can totally understand and relate with you. I have 3 children, one of which is a 15 y.o on the spectrum. I feel like there isn't enough awareness about autism and any other special needs so everyone judges you thinking your a bad parent when you truly aren't. There are many people out there with special needs and the public doesn't know anything about it and first responders too. Do they really know how to interact with people with autism? But I understand why you feel alone, so do I but I promise you, I'm sure many other parents/carers feel like this.
