... sorry to be negative, but I feel I need to vent somewhere about how I'm honestly feeling or else I may go a little mad!
So I'm just back from a walk... just a simple walk around the woods and back and good Lord I could weep. It's just So Bloody Hard to do something so simple. Indoors all my dc do is fight (after a while stuck in, understandably) so we go out and it's just such monumental effort. My son is 2 this month and is undergoing diagnosis for ASD (just a formality as far as I'm concerned as we know he has it - as do all our family) he just won't walk , he has meltdown after meltdown and he is basically just so difficult to deal with when out and about. It's not his fault and I am super patient with my kids (I'm told) but I still feel it's such a struggle just everyday trying to do everyday things. I know in time it will pass and I love my son I wouldn't change him, but I find it hard to sometimes just get on with this day to day stuff. It's the little things that I find hard - for example a walk being such a monumental struggle. I can't help feel annoyed- not at my son , but just at the situation. My daughter is 3 and is nt - she's quite a diva herself TBH so this doesn't help haha!
I guess I just wanted to vent in a safe place to others who may appreciate what I'm talking about. Sometimes I just feel I could go mad over the little everyday things ! The big things I seem to handle fairly well - appointments etc etc ... sorry for the moan.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
