[quote=Anonymous]I was pregnant with second child when we found out that our first born child was special need. They are opposite gender & 3 years gap. We have asd, adhd, speech disorder, learning disability, motor delay, anxiety and epilepsy with no seizures.  They are high functioning but it is tough for me to handle everything by myself. From genetic testing and family history tracking, all of these are likely coming from DH's side. He has undiagnosed/untreated  asd/adhd, motor delay and anxiety with speech disorder at young age.

There is no me time, and I work full time. I feel sorry sometimes for my 2nd child that I could not give much attention & resources compared to the first child. For the last 8 years, I have been the only one taking them to therapy appointment 3-6 times/week nonstop, all doctor appointments, drop off/pickup from daycare/school,  IEP, classes/practices, and playdate/bday parties. I have been trying my best to be fair to both of them. I spend all of my earned income on them.
