He's driving me mad. We are awaiting an ASD diagnosis so I know some things he really can't help but they still irritate me beyond belief. He's so argumentative all the time but he's also so ungrateful and demanding. Every sentence is 'I want' 'can I' 'when are we...' He's also started saying 'seriously' all the time and being a pain and then looking at me and going 'whaaaaat?'
Some of his habits are disgusting. He licks his hands and smells them which I find revolting. Everything still goes in his mouth like a toddler. He still soils himself some of the time and won't tell me so he just smells and then denies it when I ask him and then I have to clear him up with him protesting the whole time.
He is incapable of sitting still or shutting up. Everything is full volume and full speed. He wants to fight all the time - not properly to hurt you but he's constantly jumping on me or smacking me or grabbing me and pulling on me.
I take him out for the day and we get home and he wants more. Has to be constantly entertained and stimulated. It makes me feel dreadful as he cant help some of his behaviour I know and I love him so much but I also like him quite a lot more when he's at school five days a week. It's difficult to arrange play dates because of his over the top behaviour and he never gets invited anywhere.
I'm so tired. I know he can't help it but I'm finding it such hard work.
