Feeling overwhelmed

Tulip

Hi, sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed as a mother of five year old autistic son. I feel so alone. Some days I just want to talk to someone who understands, who just gets it, but I don’t have such person in my life. All our families live in a different country and they don’t understand the real struggle whenever I try to share something. And I don’t blame them as it is very difficult for them to understand. Not sure what to do and where to get help from. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

  • Dear Tulip,

    Thank you for sharing this with our community. While waiting for the community to respond, you may be interested in contacting a local National Autistic Society branch. Our branches offer support to local autistic people and their families. If you interested in checking if there is a local branch near you, please follow the link below: 

    https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/local-branches 

    Our branches are volunteer-led, and as such every branch and group is different. Some are parent support groups, some provide support and information to autistic adults, while others have office premises and run their own a drop-in service. You will need to check with a branch directly for more information on whether they are able to provide a particular service that you are interested in. 

    If you were interested in starting a branch or group, please email branchservices@nas.org.uk 

    Thank you, I hope this helps!

    Best regards,
