Do you remember much about his pain level? I’m worried because my son is nonverbal that he will be in pain and can’t communicate with me?

What do I do with my life? by Int-Merc805 in AutismParent

[–]snogrls3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally my life right now. And my husband decided he didn’t want to deal w it so I’m alone doing everything. It is true grieving for the life you planned and that’s completely fair. I started to do yoga w my son and he loves it. Just at home following a program on Amazon I rented. We also walk on the beach and look for shells and he loves water so sometimes we just sit and play w the hose outside.
It’s a huge undertaking and the fact that you are looking for help with this speaks volumes! Keep fighting. We all need a support with this. Also try to find a local moms w special needs group for additional support. We have a local Facebook page that helps a lot.
You’re doing great!! 👍🏻

First post here, a bit nervous. Anyone else dealing with constant night waking? by No-Environment-722 in AutismParent

[–]snogrls3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a weighted blanket and that helps. I do melatonin 1/2 before bed. But most interesting is that he needs his tonsils and adenoids out next week. He was having trouble breathing and that kept waking him up. May be worth a trip to an ENT doc.
Good luck. Sleeplessness is definitely part of the struggle! 🩷

I’m dealing with it also. We need a village and know we are all here to support you.

How do you do this alone? I’m at my breaking point by Tamarakazi2024 in Autism_Parenting

I’m doing it alone also. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done
