[quote=Anonymous]Have a young child who is clearly on the spectrum or ADHD, but too young for a neuropsyche at this time. I am not cut out for this - the emotional outbursts, dysregulation, full blown tantrums in public inappropriate for their age, stimming behaviors, extreme lack of focus, etc. It has made me depressed, I'm constantly cursing under my breath, and I no longer have a sense of happiness when I'm in my home. I'm anxious for the next blow-up or meltdown. My spouse is much more patient, but I'm really not handling it well. The only time I'm at ease is when I go to work.

Is there someone I can speak with or resources to read to get a handle on this? Kid is getting therapies in school and from a private practice. But I need better tools to cope with this. None of our friends are dealing with this (either childless or have easy-going kids), so they are not a good sounding board.

I literally cannot imagine dealing with this for the rest of my life. It depresses the hell out of me to know that I will be dealing with a teenager with these issues. [/quote]
