DS is 9 and has ASD. He is incredibly grumpy on a daily basis and this is not a new thing.
He huffs and puffs around the house, chuntering away to himself. If i ask him what is wrong he tells me to leave him alone. He is the same if we go out somewhere. He walks around with his bottom lip out, refusing to hold hands and just generally being a PITA.
I'm sick of his attitude and its also causing problems with DP. I take DS on loads of days out, he has loads of nice things to do (a lot more then other kids we know) and he just seems to be eternally ungrateful. DP thinks i do too much with DS and says he takes it all for granted, he thinks i should do a lot less.
I don't expect DS to be happy all the time but this constant grumpiness is getting me down.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is is just a very long phase? Should i just lock myself in a darkened room until ds leaves home my sanity returns?
