Sometimes two is just too many

[lisad123]

Trying to deal with double the professionals involved, double amount of paper work and they haven't stopped fighting since they got home. Dd1 is still awake :(
Been at hospital with dh today which hasn't helped and I'm knackered.
I'm meant to have another mum over tomorrow for lunch, who also has a child with autism. I'm not sure I can handle that all tomorrow, she tends to off load.
Struggling to decide on what to about dd1 crappy school, they stopped using her visual timetable as they think she didn't need it, and she has made NO progress in learning levels in the whole year, she's bored, self harming and binge eating.
Dd2 likes to wind up her sister and can be violent and aggressive, and school are struggling to manage her behaviours.
Sorry to rant on here but not sure what else to do.

Rant on It's cathartic.

Rant away

You must be shattered and your brain must be doing overtime :(

Have you got any further with challenging the camhs decision for dd? Its rediculous that they can leave her to be in such a state.

Saw Camhs last week who suggested it might be to do with dh cancer and my inability to manage her anxiety but have a follow up after half term so will kick some arse then.
Have cancelled friend tomorrow, I can't deal with her problems and I would kill myself cleaning before she got here

Cleanings out and I am sure your friend would be more put out if she was there and you were staring into space with stressed "I knows" :)

Get in a hot bath with bubbles and close your eyes and have a glass of you wont drown as you wont want to waste the wine

You know your stuff and I am sure you will kick arse well.

It is hard work with two, I find the appointments the professionals and the schools more time consuming though than the kids.My two are mirror images of each other so at least it's interesting and they never clash.Wish some of dd's joie de vivre would rub off on ds though and maybe dd could perhaps take a few tips from ds on talking less. The older three must have brought themselves up though because I've never noticed extra work from them
