I know that I should be connecting with other *autism* mums out there...
I know that the support received from parents who *get it* would help me tremendously...
I just haven't been available...
I am just tired, so tired of living with autism....
Is this it?
Is this my life?
Is this my future?
I read blogs written by autistic adults. They make me feel bad. They say I must accept my child as he is.
I do accept him. I do love him with all of my being.
But life is hard.
Its not what I thought my life would be....
I am tired, so tired...
I need to go looking for more mums, more support and more understanding...
Are you out there?
I think there is support out there; does your community through the school system have a support system for parents with autistic kids? I think it is very challenging to have an autistic child (mine is 27 now, she has Asperger's, it was challenging dealing with all the issues when she lived at home). I think the help you can get and the support you can get will be very beneficial for you. Keep looking for it and reaching out; I'm sure there are others looking and reaching out too help get through these challenging times!

Thank you for your comment, Betty. I will keep looking and am sure that there are other parents out there that I can connect with. I guess it just takes time to create the relationships. Hope you are well.
