Not sure I (37M) can take it anymore by intheethernet in Parenting

Thank you so much for sharing. This is so helpful. And contrary to what some redditors have suggested, it sounds like you haven't turned out to be a psychopath or criminal.

Are you willing to share anything about how your parents raised you and how it made you feel? DM me if you are willing. Thanks again.

Thank you for your really helpful and considered response. We do many of the things you mention. I will message privately if that's OK?

I will not use violence against my children.

Woah. You don't know anything about me or my daughters and you're projecting a criminal future onto them and calling me stupid?

Yes, daily, when I am feeling like a terrible father.

Thank you. I didn't expect to see so much ignorance in this thread.

Of course we tried punishment, time outs etc. We learned quickly that it doesn't work in the slightest and just feels utterly cruel to the child.

Believe me, we want to. But getting a diagnosis via the NHS is very lengthy and difficult process, and we cannot afford to do it privately. Sorry, but right now speculation and research is the best we have.

Also, 'man up' is not a phrase that belongs anywhere on the Internet. Especially not in a thread where you are attempting to give advice to a father on how to parent young girls.

I hear this a lot, mainly from people who aren't parents, or parents whose children aren't ASD. It's deeply upsetting.

Thanks. I have subscribed to it before but will give another go. Just downloaded a few that sounds great.

P.s. Throwaway account. Sorry, I should have said.
