[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright. Not welcome. Got it. I feel the way I feel, and I’ve been trying to get help for myself and my kid for YEARS. It’s been round and round and round and no one has EVER until now thought that my child’s issues were anything other than shitty parenting. Guess they’re all right. I still hate autism - my kid definitely has it but diagnosis takes FOREVER once you have a direction, and I hate that my kid has it. Why? Because parenting him is HELL and always has been. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVES HE HAS ISSUES. Because they all think it’s “inconsistent parenting” or “because Mom isn’t married” or “because mom sucks at parenting”. I’ve been trying to get someone to listen to me about this kid FOR YEARS. Since he was 2 or 3. But no, I was you g when I had him so I’m a terrible mom.

I’ll find support somewhere else. [/quote]

OP, you have to break this cycle of anger and victimization you have going on. Having kids is hard. Having kids with special needs is extra hard. Its also very hard for your child. What can you do now -

1. find him a therapist
2. talk to a psychiatrist re his symptoms and explore med ideas
3. attend a virtual parent coaching like Dan Shapiro class right now. 
4. spend 20 minutes time in with your kid every day
5. read the Kazdin method[/quote]

I think all of these are great ideas, except I don't think realistically OP will find a therapist to take this case on virtually. It is too complicated not to see them in person amd I doubt anyone is doing in person right now.

OP, you are free to vent here and you will and have get/gotten a lot of empathy. The issue is you are using a label in an offensive way. Just say you hate the violence and the fear and all of that. Most kids with autism are nothing like what you describe. [/quote]
