[FREYASMUMMY2015]

Hi, I am a single mum to a beautiful 4 year old who has been diagnosed osed autistic, shes her sad eveyvother weekend. The past few weeks I have been finding really hard with my daughters behaviour I work 30 hours a week and I only have my mum to help me. My ex meft me with a mortgage toilet on my own and due to legal reasons he is not allowed to be on his own with her so he is a no go when comes to helping me out with our daughter when I need somone to do the school.pikc up or taken time off work in the holidays to help. I have had members of the family tell me.they wont look after my LO anymore becuse of he behaviour and the past couple of weeks no matter what I do injustice cant seemnto do right, she naughty as shes hitting, kicking biting screaming teachers and other children coming home and just being such a handful she is constantly crying over things that I dont wven know and tonight injustice snapped I couldnt take it anymore and now I feel awfull. Like I am really not cut out to be a mum infeel so lost with her and like she needs better ,😪 sory I guess this is more of a winge than anything. Sorry x

You ARE cut out to be a mum, you just happen to have a child whose behaviour is really challenging at the moment.
Have you had much support or advice in terms of managing her autism?

Thank u,
I have support through the childrens centre about putting things in place at her school to help her act but nothing really anything to say how to manage if that makes sence. X

You are doing the best you can with a lot to deal with.

Is there anything your daughter enjoys. Art. Or drama. You can get her into a small group

It is good that school are supportive do chat with them for things that help.

Does her father pay child support. Are you claiming all you can? Check the turn2us site and look into DLA. This will enable you to look at more personal child care options. My children (eldest asd) have an amazing child minder.

You are doing a great job. Hang in there.

Thank u and yea she dos gymnastics every sunday and we have EHAT meetings with the school every 6 weeks, and he does but not much and he only sees her every other weekend just feel I need more support butbi keep getting told I dont spend enough time with her as it is because inwork aswell x
