[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought as my kid got older they’d get more independent. Not so much. Their disability was not evident early on. Only just diagnosed ASD at age 10. Wrapping my head around our new normal. Battling years of fatigue. Watching peers develop new hobbies as their kids become more independent and capable. My purpose is to commiserate more than to complain. [/quote]

You feel isolated because your child was just recently diagnosed. We all probably felt isolated in the beginning. I did. Then I found a great community by getting involved with other parents of children with disabilities. I highly highly encourage you to do the same. It's still hard but it's a lot better when you aren't isolated. If you post where you live, people may even suggest certain groups. [/quote]

Exactly this.  my sibling refused to get to know any other SN parents through local associations.  And she is left alone to try to figure things out. That community is invaluable[/quote]
