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!

  • Yes, it is hard. Hard for me additionally, because I have no time for my interests. I take breaks when I feel it starts shaking me from inside. Otherwise I start crying hysterically or even head banging. For me the only solutions are - breaks and earplugs for playing with daughter. She is not autistic for sure.
