[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has HFA. We are blessed that it is relatively mild compared to others. But, it is exhausting. DC isn’t getting the supports he needs at school which then turns home life into havoc.

It’s taking a toll on my marriage. We have to divide and conquer - meltdown after meltdown,
Constant need for attention, and just the unpredictability of it all. Financially it’s also draining us havin gnto
Pay out of pocket for all the supports needed.

For those who make it work, how do you balance needs of your child with your own needs? I do zero self-care at this point. DH and I haven’t had a date night in 5 years (DC refuses babysitters and grandparents).[/quote]

Your case doesn't sound mild at all. I wonder why you categorize it that way. It sounds like you need a BCBA to help your family so you can create a behavior intervention plan.

I am in an autism parents group with level two and three kids. Several of the parents have used ABA to greatly improve their family life.
