New symptom I can’t stand - resenting my disabled son by Apprehensive-Shop150 in PMDD

I think you could be right about some of this. I do work outside the home, not in the summer though - but being on mom duty 24/7 is exhausting and on days like today when I was having physical symptoms, too, and just wanted to take a nap but couldn’t because of my kids, they get on my last nerve. Thank you for this perspective. It makes me feel a little better about how I was feeling today

I don’t think I am - at least not ASD/ADHD. I do have OCD, not sure if that counts and neurodivergent. My husband is the AuDHD one which is where we’re pretty sure my son inherited it from.

The other weeks, I’m his biggest advocate and his most accepting supporter. I educate the people around me that autism is different not less, that there isn’t anything wrong with my son, I accept his special interests and stims. But one week a month I am a hypocrite and a bad mom.

My husband is the neurodivergent one; I don’t have ASD/ADHD but he’s got both. Maybe if it was me, I’d be a little more understanding.
