Autistic child getting harder with age

[pumpkinseedss]

I’m really struggling with parenting my autistic, does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice? She’s getting so much more challenging the older she gets I can barely take her out and sometimes feel like a prisoner in my own home. This weekend ive had to stay in as just don’t have the energy. She has to come with me on the school run with my other kids and on Friday she just kept repeatedly saying she was tired and kept lying across the floor on the pavement, it was so bad people were coming up asking me if she had fainted, I kept trying to get her up but couldn’t, our bus came but she refused to get on it as she was “tired” I had to miss 4 buses whilst I ordered a cab but they didn’t have any available so ended up having to cancel it, I eventually managed to get her on the bus but this was an hour later but I can’t keep doing this I feel she is getting way more challenging the older she has become.. She is 14. How am I suppose to manage this situation?

Yes it is overwhelming but the school have been good and allow me to pick up dd 15 minutes early but it doesn’t change much unless the bus comes straight away but there are 2 primaries and one secondary on the route so it’s never quiet. The LA won’t do a reassessment I am in contact with a solicitor but they aren’t exactly forthcoming it’s weeks between responses I can’t do the working document without professional reports which are all out of date.
