Any parents who are Autistic or think they probably are

NAS75657

I am a parent of a boy who’s diagnosed with Autusm.  I myself am awaiting an Autism assessment and my husband believes he is although he doesn’t want an assessment.  Any parents who are either diagnosed or self identify as Autistic how do you find parenting children with Autism any advice?

  • Good morning from America!

    I’m a ASD/ADHD/GAD/MDD father with one of my two daughters also with ASD/ADHD (age 8). It’s tricky, especially with a NT partner who takes on way more responsibility because I can’t handle a lot of the stress that comes with parenting. But I’d say that communication with your partner is such an imperative thing to keep up on. Make sure your husband is aware what you can and cannot handle at the moment, and the visa versa as well.

    Let me know if you have any specific questions I might be able to answer!
