Hello I have two DC's, the eldest 3.5 has autism. I love him with all my heart but it's been VERY hard, as I'm sure a lot of you can understand.
I never worried about my second having this while pregnant as we weren't aware of this due to the small age gap; we believed he was just a bit behind nothing particular.
Now I'm pregnant with a third and I'm so worried this one will also have it (these thoughts never crossed my mind before I got the positive).
I struggle now with my son that I just don't think I'll cope with two screaming at me all day and night, headbutting me, the list goes on. Obviously the highs are so amazing when we have good days but bad days are bad for everyone and I often feel I can't cope with him and I'm not good enough for him.
So I suppose what I'm asking, is please tell me in as much or as little detail as you like how many children you have and how many have a dx of any kind and how you cope?
I hope I haven't offended anyone by this post or wording things wrong please say if so I can rephrase in future conversations
