At wits end with DC NOT LISTENIG!

Even as I'm typing this for some sanity, he's pulling my hands off and creating a load of typos!

He's 2.5. Suspected ASD. Does not 'play' and I'm sick to death of it now. All I say every 5 seconds is 'no' or 'let's not touch that' or 'please don't do that'.

He's bored out of his mind I suspect. Incredibly happy all the time but no doubt bored. Everything I try is in vain. Won't do anything like colourings, paints, sand. Can't touch it, packs play dough away as soon as I take it out because it doesn't 'go there'.

Just packs any toys away. Then leaves to do something else like empty a shelf, with contents he can't have, or take keys.

Most frustrating of all is him constantly on a DH, under his feet and chair. Won't leave him. DH can't get up for a split second or turn his head without DS trying to touch the laptop, pulling wires, generally being a pain.
He's constantly wanting to kiss and cuddle his dad too. DH is getting angry and that's making me feel edgy and on 'flight mode' every time DS moves an inch Sad

I just don't know what to do. It is a total nightmare until he goes to bed. No respite whatsoever. Even mealtimes are a constant struggle.

I'm exhausted. And I have injured my knee recently. The pain is just getting worse though and I feel like all I want to do is rest but I can't.

Anyone else at the end of their wits today?
