Im a mum with aspergers I have never been ashamed of that fact . I had a long battle to get apropriate support from the adult mental health serives and for over 7 years i have had great support. about a year ago dd got ill wilth a mystry joint pain illness , she has always had mild sn , school seem to hit an all time low. i asked for a stat asses , the school listed her main need as being a young carer ( V OFFENSIVE as i have spent much more time caring for dd as she has been ill , as a mum should do ) . i asked for a carers asesment , turned down as dd aparently not disab , although she recives dla .lost the plot my asperger mind concluded me not being alive anymore would result in better help for dd , now in getting parenting assesment . i love dd want the best for its begining to seem that care is the only option. i know it would devesate her as private psycologist says she cant bear to be away from me for more than one min . she was on rare visit to father , who has been shit , last night . i ended up down a and e to get valium as i couldent resist the urge to throw myself in morving traffic . my dd is a lovely kid with some needs . i want to throw the towel in , the world the taxpayer and dd would be better off
