My morning so far with DS

[OhPanda]

DS is 4, no diagnosis of autism yet but is on the pathway and it’s quite obvious.

Today he woke up at 6am, we went downstairs, he had breakfast then wanted a bath. As I washing him he got the jug full of water and threw it across the bathroom. The bathroom was wet through. Absolutely everywhere. After I had cleaned it up we went back downstairs, I put a nappy on him and got him dressed then my other DS wanted his breakfast so I went into the kitchen, I must have been 2 minutes max. I come back into the living room and he had stripped off completely and there was poo all over the curtains and window that he had smeared😞

I’m at my wits end with him. I honestly feel like walking out and never coming back. Obviously I wouldn’t do that but it’s so, so hard.

Just needed a vent really

I’m sorry to hear this. It’s so hard isn’t it and there doesn’t seem to be much support out there? Do you have a ‘local offer’ in your area? Google it and see whether there is as I find out local group helpful for things like parent support and autism playgroups.

I just posted as feel desperately sad about the violent episodes in my 6 year old. I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship that I just can’t ever leave.

@SpinningTops Thank you I’ll have a look into that.

Yes it’s incredibly hard. Everything I try to do with him just ends in disaster. I’m at a loss most days. Yesterday all he seemed to do was scream and tantrum. Wanting to go and play on the trampoline but it was raining heavy and he didn’t understand why he couldn’t go outside. I make him drinks and he just either tips it out or spits it out. The list is endless. Trying to explain things to him just doesn’t go in. I’m mentally exhausted
