My DS is difficult to parent (severe mental health problems) and being assessed for ASD (though not got a confirmed diagnosis yet).
I really worry how people perceive my parenting and just can't snap out of it. Particularly when DS behaviour is challenging for example in the playground. It's taken years and him developing some serious mental health problems this summer to be taken seriously by school that DS was really struggling as he masks at school. And if I'm honest I'm sure even now people think it's just me being a rubbish and over anxious parent.
Any advice how to snap out of it and get a bit more self belief. I really don't know why I care so much about what people think.
