help

Hi there.

On the whole it does get easier. My son's had his diagnosis for about 4 years (he's 10). There are still days though, when we've been called into school, or he's had major blow-ups, that we still get angry and upset. There's no answer to the question "why us?". It's just the way it is, but it doesn't stop the occasional grieving for the family life we miss at times. I also feel bad for my other 2 kids, when his behaviour affects how we are with them, which isn't really fair. But we're only human. Talking to other supportive people is the best thing. NAS have been great and we have a few friends who really have helped us through the rough patches.

Hang on in there.
