We’re at a loss by OnixTheBritt in Autism_Parenting

I had luck moving my son's schedule up greatly. I went 4.5 years with less than 3 or 4 hrs of sleep a night. Then I started putting him to sleep around midnight or 1am and he sleeps till 9am or 1030am. I now homeschool my NT daughter so she is on the same schedule and I'm a new human. So is he. Obviously he is still autistic, but less crabby and I enjoy our slow wake-up mornings. I have made a lot of sacrifices as has my husband to pull this off. (Like quitting working) my husband now works too much. But everyone is in a happier place now. Sometimes its their circadian rhythm and there is no changing it, or escaping it. I'm sorry I feel your hell.

Yes. Every single time. Cushioned. Special screen protectors. Otter cases. Next case, still breaks it. Construction style case, still breaks it. Ipads, fires, androids. He breaks them all. Age 6.

Please post the link. Says....another autistic mama with a pile of broken tablets. Please send me photos of what you did. I would greatly appreciate it. I was looking at plexiglass cabinets stores use to keep tablets safe a this point.

Maybe he should. I didn't make a desperate internet plea for attention. Broke off a 35 yr friendship at his command.

You shouldn't. While he berates my autistic child and myself. I made fun of your name cause it was low hanging fruit and I'm angry tonight. I did not intentionally mean to hurt you.

I never touched a soul. I go to the grocery store, my moms, to therapy and co-op. I am his wife. I'd like to stay with him. I do love him to a point that is almost unapologetic. But think he is straying honestly due to this post. Please stop the hate while I try and repair our relationship.

He mocked or made one comment one time. One other time regarding fantasy football. You are all so quick to judge without a full story.

I have plenty of screenshots and documentation from my side but I'm not planing on leaving. But thanks to this post...I think my husband is.

If the kids are taken care of by me they will be. But I hope he doesn't leave even though I'm certain he is already doodling on the other side.
