To be feeling really fed up with my son?

[extremepie]

Ok, don't get me wrong, I love my child but I'm just really feeling smothered at the moment!
Ds2 has ASD and at the moment is wanting to spend virtually every waking (and sometimes not waking) second physically attached to me!
I'm very grateful that he is cuddly and affectionate but there is only so much I can take - if I sit in a chair he will sit on my lap, stand on me or generally just climb all over me, if I'm standing up he is either hanging off my arm or wanting to be picked up, if I go to the loo he will stand outside the door banging on it screaming hysterically until I come out!
Just finding the constant closeness a bit difficult to take.
Feel so mean saying it :(
I am usually the main earner and DH is a SAHD so Ds is around him all the time and me not so much but I have recently lost my job so I know he is just taking advantage of me being at home all day but it is all day every day and doing my head in - plus making it hard to spend time with DS1!
AIBU to be getting fed up? What can I do about it? He is 4 so I can't carry him around in a baby carrier all day :D

I have no advice for you. Only sympathy! I hope he settles down and stops being so clingy!

Arrrg, I hope he settles down too, the only reason I am posting now is because I have distracted him with lunch! I had to give him half of mine to get him to leave me alone, really need a shower but I don't want to deal with the screaming tantrum that would ensue if I left the room without him!

Blimy extremepie, you have my sympathy too.
My DS also has ASD and was very clingy and still gets clingy now around change, even though he's nearly 10 and 5 foot tall.
Don't feel mean saying it, it's the truth that it can be claustrophobic.

It sounds as though its taking him a while to adjust to the change of you being at home and your DH being out. He sounds very anxious.
Ride it out, give him the attention he feels he needs and he will gradually improve.
I changed my life radically a year ago and now spend vastly much more time with my DS. TBH it nearly broke me for the first 6 months while we both adapted to the change. I made sure that I went out as much as possible when my DH came home, even if it only for a walk.
Establish a routine and set some structure into the day, that might help.
You have my total sympathy but I promise it will get easier.
