Autistic son

Angelastewart

Im new here I have a 13yr old son with suspected Autism and a 15 yr old daughter with suspected ADHD and severe Anxiety. I am struggling so much and have no support neither go to school. Every day is a war zone my son has such terrible meltdowns I feel like i never get anything right. I love my kids and do everything for them ive gave up work as mentally and physically I couldn't do it anymore. I suppose im looking for advice my kids trigger each other constantly its like balancing act I cant keep both happy and even when I try my son will tell me its wrong the wrong clothes food, drinks. He is extremly germophobic and cant certain smells so we accommodate this but still Im told I favour my daughter even though I do everything for him. Im just at a loss im so tired no one is understands. As no one sees what we deal with daily x

  • Hello AngelaStewart.

    Welcome to the NAS community, I hope you find it to be a welcome, informative place.

    It sounds as though you are working against an awful lot here, allthough one thing is clear - you have a large heart, and you are doing more right than you think.

    While I know that our community will have fantastic input, I would like to suggest resources related to the issues you have raised:

    School education

    Behaviour


    In addition to the above, I would like to mention possibly looking at resources in your local area.

    It should also be noted that your well being is just as important as that of your children, it may be worth looking at ur parent to parent support line in addition to the various support based charities located on our “Urgent help” page”
