Hi I'm new on here but have read some of the conversations and it looks like lots of you have children with ASD. My boys are aged 4 and 5 and my youngest was diagnosed with ASD when he was 2 and a half. My elder boy seems to be fine.
I've been feeling desperately low today and wondered if anyone ever feels like this. My ds is in an excellent autism specific unit attached to a mainstream school.His proposed statement came through today and reading it was like getting dx all over again. He sounds so severe (he has SLD as well as autism) and it is just breaking my heart altho I know I should be used to it by now. I am also a part time primary teacher and the pressure is building at work at the mo and I can barely cope but am reluctant to give job up as it has always been like respite but so many competing demands are taking their toll and it's all doing my head in
Thanks so much for listening
