I'm so tired of it

jrandall10

Hi everyone

I am so fed up of people telling me I make our SPD/ASD daughter worse because of my behaviour towards her. I'm tired of being told she is fine at school so it must be something I am doing at home. I'm also fed up of coming in from work and hubby saying she has been fine till you got home. I'm always being told that this is her and I can't fix her, I know that but I can't help wanting to help her when something upsets her. Hubby says I have to tell her if things change and she just has to deal with so there's no point in me pandering to her. Sorry about the moan but I needed to let it out xx

    You sound desperate and at breaking point and that isn't good for any of the three of you. :-(

    It also sounds as though you and hubby are not agreeing on a strategy and that is causing extra stress. Is he on the spectrum too? Is that why he is at home whilst you work?

    What help have you sought from GP, CAMHS etc to overcome the problems?

    Autistic kids need special parenting and that means consistent and positive input. It doesn't mean letting her do whatever she wants. Are you good at saying no and sticking to it and encouraging and being positive as much as possiblee?
