Cange in days a guest staying - couldn’t cope - ND MN

[AutieAdult]

*should be change
Please note this is in ND MNetters, though would welcome strategies from anyone with someone that has autism in their life.

My DMum has come to stay, helping me with cleaning and some practical stuff as they can drive, stayed Friday and Saturday then this morning said they were going to stay tonight as well and i just couldn’t cope.

part embarrassing that I need the cleaning help. Mainly though just had an idea how the day and tomorrow morning would be and couldn’t cope with the change. She was very upset as she is happy to put in extra work. I didn’t explain the ND side as I didn’t even realise.

If ND might you find this change hard as I feel stupid that I can’t but just couldn’t agree to the change? . Any ideas of strategies I could have used to cope?

No idea on strategies but don’t give yourself a hard time over this. You probably need help with cleaning because you’re ND and that’s not your fault.

Also I think your DM will understand. Just remind her how you absolutely love seeing her and appreciate all of the help but remind her that you’ve just never been good with change but that doesn’t mean that she should stay away in future.
