Struggling to relate to friends with neurotypical children

RebeccaH

I wondered if anyone else has this problem or any advice that might help.  I'm struggling to stay friends with mums who have kids the same age but who are neurotypical.  I don't know how to share how difficult our lives are and normal mum conversations just leave me feeling completely alone and isolated.  Everytime I do try and share it just feels like I'm bringing the whole mood down so don't feel comfortable anymore.  I'm starting to avoid meeting up because it just makes me feel so depressed.  Does anyone else have these issues? Thanks x

  • Hi. You don't say how old your child is. I can relate to that from when my son was younger. I found that the most helpful conversations were with people who I met from a group with children who also had difficulties and training courses for those with autism or ADHD. Some of these were advertised by the school.
