"I'm on overload and I feel like total shit because my hands are tied in so many areas. It's such an unbelievably helpless feeling and I'm not able to fight it off right now"
Can anyone relate to this moment in #Autism Parenting?
The boys and I got to do something we don't always get to do.
"The boys made it off to school today but just barely. Elliott wanted to go to school but Emmett was complaining of not feeling well."
"I meant to call the school and give them a heads up but I was so tired from not sleeping well again. I dropped the ball and forgot to call"
"Gavin had a really good IVIG infusion this morning. He's gaining a little bit of weight so there's more body fat on his tummy to make needle placement less painful."
Very few things are as bad as starting a Monday as tired as I am
There's so little help available for parents of special needs kids. There's a massive shortfall in the availability of services needed for the Autism or special needs children themselves. Parents are even further down the ladder.
