- Just finished a harrowing bout of math homework…
- It is 3 in the morning and she hasn’t slept yet… it is my nth night this way…I am exhausted
- Can I express my own emotions…or fight for what I need…?
- A meltdown that started at midnight and went on for hours…I am sitting here, with a cup of tea, physically and emotionally exhausted
- Lost my entire career…but, she’s worth it….
- My son masks his ASD symptoms at school and comes home super exhausted…and has enormous emotional meltdowns at home
- My son just went pee, in the toilet, for the first time…
- It drives me crazy when others say “she doesn’t look autistic…”, “..looks pampered…, naughty”
- He cries, I cry, I don’t know why he’s crying…I just need to know…feeling so helpless
- It breaks my heart when I see that he tries to reach out to other kids and a lot of them ignore him…and you can see he doesn’t understand…
- When teacher says “he is too old to be in diapers…they are not age appropriate!” My question: “Is anything about autism age appropriate??”
