  • My quite severely autistic son struggles with everything  He also has developmental delays, ADHD and no danger awareness. I am having real problems getting nappies on him, giving him baths, getting him to eat (he barely does), brushing his teeth, sleeping at night, everything you name it. He is over a metre tall and weighs over 40lbs, but is only 2y9m old. I cannot force him to do these things as he is too big and heavy for me. I feel i am at the end of my teather most of the time. My daughter will not help and no matter how many talks i have with her about the desperate-ness of the situation she will not help (she has aspergers). Basically i have two children that i do everything for, cannot take care of myself at all and do not get any time to myself. My son goes to nursery 2 afternoons a week, but this time is spent doing housework i cannot do with him here, he has hypersensitive hearing and cant cope with hoovers and noise! Is there any help i can get anywhere? please let me know if you know of any thank you
