Exhausted

DD is nearly four but I feel like she's getting harder to manage. She's constantly hyper, doesn't sleep and jumps off anything she can. She even jumps when she's walking. She also doesn't eat and interaction with her is so hard. She's diagnosed with asd. I'm exhausted. I'm wondering if I should look at special schools though the nearest is 45 minutes away and her two siblings (other dd also has asd and ADHD) go to the school locally. Everything feels such a battle at the moment. I'm envious of all the people with nt kids but then feel guilty as some people have children who are physically and mentally disabled but when I see another child who is younger chatting away it's like someone has punched me. Thinking out loud after a rather long week.

Flowers hang in there. It's tough. I feel like I don't know what im doing, so I'll equipped to advise....I usually post here looking for help. But I know what you mean about being jealous of "normal" families....and then the guilt at feeling that way when others are worse off.
Someone with actual good real advice will be along soon.

I also find life tough as dd becomes much more inflexible as she grows, sometimes I just want to forget about everything and just eat eat eat.

You said your dd loves jumping - do you have a trampoline at home that she can jump on it when she wants? That way at least you know she's jumping at a safer place and may satisfy her needs to jump so she may be calmer at other times.

Wine and chocolates are essential for me too WineBrewChocolate Flowers
