@zaydas.table: Loving your child deeply and struggling with the reality of autism can exist at the same time. Both can be true. If this resonates, you are not alone. 💛 #AutismMum #AutismParenting #SpecialNeedsParenting #SENDMum #AutismFamily
I burst into tears reading this. Because it's my reality too. I feel for you sweetheart. People saying words unfortunately don't change anything as I'm sure all you neurodivergent mammas know.
It's a lonely place, no matter how much encouragement, well dones and you're so strongs we hear.
I always just feel like I'm drowning and barely keeping my head above water. Trying so hard to not sink. I feel you, 😔💔💞

🥺 I’m petrified of the future when I’m not here. I’m also terrified that I’m putting a burden onto his big sisters shoulders when I’m not here too, as she’ll need to be the one who can do it because she’s lived through it with me raising and adapting to living with a nonverbal autistic sibling. I’m so broken worrying about that. I hope that day doesn’t come for a long time but you just don’t know how long you’ve got on earth. I’ve got no village to depend on 💔

this is me right now. I'm currently in the process of getting my son diagnosed with autism. He's none verbal at the age of 3 years old. I know I've got all the hardship to come. I feel like I'm drowning now never mind in the future.

This hits home. My fear too.. what happens to my child when I’m gone? Will he be able to face the world on his own? Furthermore, he’s non verbal 😭

Everything you said is me also... but with an unsupported baby dad who just makes me feel like crap cause I haven't done things around the house or something isn't cleaned. I'm overwhelmed 24/7 and have no support but I push through cause I have too but it's making me ill ♥️

7 years of caregiving for my autistic son who’s verbal but my reality is also hard and the struggle is real .I’m also autistic and adhd and I found out after my son got diagnosed. Now I know why all my life I got so easily overwhelmed but now sensory overload is at its most high because like me my kid has serious autism rage. It’s times like this this that I feel so hopeless 🥺

I’m also fearful what’s going to happen if anything happens to me. Who look after her. Support her. Advocate for her. That weighs on me heavily

I cN relate to this. I'm also a mommy to a non verbal autistic 7 year old boy with Adhd. He elopes and has pica and is a sensory seeker. It is so tough I also have another son who is 10 to take care of. No village to help. Had to stop working. I'm missing me time, pampering, shopping sprees, my own finances. How I wish the retailers, salons, beauty salons etc can also bless all our kiddos and Ausome mommy's with goodie bags, snacks, massages, pedicures manicures, vitamins, sensory toys etc. Because we really deserve it.
