Is anyone else sick of autism???

I am so sick of autism I want to scream until my throat bleeds and cry until my eyes cannot cry any longer. I want to stop doing dishes, laundry and stop changing diapers on a 8 year old. I am so tired. I am tired of taking care of everyone and everything. I am tired of always being the optimistic one. I am tired of going without so you can have whatever you want. I am tired of NEVER having enough money. Tired of saying that it could be worse. I KNOW IT COULD BE WORSE BUT DAMMIT THIS IS BAD TOO!! Tired of putting on a happy face and taking deep breaths and continuing on. I just want to be happy again!!! I WANT TO GIVE UP!!!!!! I feel like autism is winning. I'm sick up and fed with autism!!!Is anyone else sick of autism???? Or, is it just me???

Anyone for a girls night out with our friend Sandy?????

Oh....Sandy, my friend, yes! I feel your pain!! There have been so many days I just want the world to stop spinning long enogh to let me off of this roller coaster ride, if even for only and instance. Autism truly is with you 24/7/365. I have no words of wisdom for you. Please know that others care and can relate. We're here for you!! xx, Lin

A girls night out

Sandy,

I would love for us to get together and just have some FUN!
No Autism Talk Just a Girls Night Out....
Is it possible for you to get a babysitter and plan an evening out?
I feel your pain(: Hugs Rhonda

Yes, yes, and yes. No one who

Yes, yes, and yes. No one who does not have a child knows the hardships. Especially the parents of a child who is not potty trained.

My 11-year-old son is not. My beautiful boy likes to hold poop parties in his bedroom long into the night, which means cleaning floors, walls, the ceiling (yes, the ceiling), rugs, books, toys, bedding, him, the bathroom, and myself two, three, four times or more.

I know what he's thinking. He's thinking, "I don't want to do this, but I need to. I would rather read a book than poop on it, but I will however possible express myself."

I don't think I am reading too much into it. My son wants above all else to be loved. He wants to know he is valued and appreciated and most of all on his terms. Until I can get him better to the point that pooping in the toilet is better than pooping on the bed he will continue to hold his parties and I will be extremely grateful that we have solved his constipation problems.

I understand the strain, it impacts the entire family and I will be more than happy to share with you what works.
