[quote=Anonymous]DS was diagnosed with autism around age 10 and it became apparent that DH has autism as well. We have other (younger) children who are NT. What affects me more than anything is how lonely this journey is. My DS and my DH get stuck in their negative thoughts and suck the joy out of holidays, birthdays, vacations, and family outings. I can do what I want with the other kids but it’s just so damn lonely. We are in therapy but it’s hard not to feel hopeless sometimes. I hate having to beg people (esp DH) to show up, care, and not complain about things that most families just do… like going out to dinner on a birthday, sitting down to chat about weekend plans for a few minutes, or attending our daughter’s Christmas play. I have a lot of friends. I work FT. But my family experience just feels lonely… the impending winter break is not something I’m looking forward to. [/quote]
