Hello I'm new to the forum.
Parents how do you cope? Do you read? Special exercises? I have a teen with autism, since he hit puberty a few years ago he became different. He tells me and his dad he wants new parents, he tells his dad he hates him so he only wants to deal with me....he can be really mean at times. He's depressed and has melt downs that can last hours.
Late last year he lost some social media friendships due to communication issues, being misunderstood, as a result he had some really violent tantrums, we took him to the hospital but they don't have a place for hom because he's autistic. He still cries about the issue, tells us he wants his friends back and asks what he can do to get them back. Says he can't live without them. He doesn't want to do anything else but worry about that and gets mad at us believing we don't care....its really hard as I don't know what to do.
What can I do to keep myself from slipping under while trying to care for him?
