Son is autistic HF, and spends loads of time on his own fishing and golfing and I so want him to have friends. He's spent so many holidays on his own on golf course and fishheries but he gets on well with the adults. He is kind of older than his years. He has been suicidal recently and that is now lifting thank goodness. He's been suicidal before and I have to manage it until he can cope again.
A couple of nights ago I let his friends have a sleep over in the back garden. Set up a DIY marquee and then individual tents underneath, a very much hotch potch job in a small garden. They "get him" and he's known them for years.
Now I've allowed them another sleepover in tents tonight.
Am I barking? Over indulging the sleepovers? The kids like me and have even offered to let me stay outside with them. I am not into that at all but will sleep downstairs. I'm not fond of insects and things that can crawl up your nose as you sleep.
But then when my son tells me I am the best Mum in the world I think to hell with it let him be happy.
Am I a soft touch?
