Autistic mothers

NAS96233

Hi 

I  wondered if any autistic mums here could share some tips and advice for dealing with their own sensory overload whilst parenting. All the information I can find online is about helping autistic children as a parent but not how to help yourself if you as an autistic parent are struggling. I'm terrified my daughter is also autistic and I won't be able to help her properly because I'm struggling to regulate myself so any tips from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
