[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you hate autism, op. You hate what’s going on with your son and you’re tired. If he is autistic, he is. So I doubt you’d hate it. [/quote]

This. You don't even have an official diagnosis. As a parent of a child with autism, I found this title offensive. Please stick to hating particular symptoms, don't assume your child has ASD until you hyave a full evaluation. You have a right to feel angry and frustrated, but please don't contribute to ignorance about a diagnosis that is used on a huge range of children who didn't ask to have it.[/quote]

This. And OP, the victimization in your post is also over the top. What do you think parents of kids with all types of SN are doing right now? Get some coping mechanisms going, get your kid an actual diagnosis - and I am sorry, but if it is this bad and he is this old, take some blame for he delay here - and get behind it. Also, we don't tolerate using diagnoses as pejoratives on here, even if it coming from a place of lack of education. Now you know better. Do better. [/quote]

Y'all aren't very helpful with your offense.  I have 2 kids with autism and one is really really hard.  Yes, counseling for DH and me has helped immensely, as has parent training.  Our family and home compared to 6 months ago is so much better, calmer, less stressed, more peaceful and happier.  Even during this pandemic.  But the anxiety and rigidity is still very difficult.

OP, it is still possible to improve your family, your well-being and your DC's.  You can do it.  Maybe anti-anxiety meds or other meds would help, maybe a change in parenting or elsewhere would help.  Posting for constructive help here may help, and venting may also help.  [/quote]
