As long as you are doing your best that is all you can do. We all have our bad moments. Lose patience, ect. Just try to stay focused. I have only recently gotten my diagnosis and I know how stressful it is with one. Try to give both of them as much attention as you can. Get as much therapy as you can. Try to find a daycare or program your son can go to. He will learn social skills and give you some off time. Taking my son just three days a week is a great help. He enjoys being there. He used to cry and hang on my leg. Now he says bye bye when I leave. Stay focused on helping him but take some time for yourself.

I am in the same boat. And I have a one year old and an 11 year old who are normal... and then the 5 year old who is autistic. It's hard. Very hard. You are not a bad Mom. We all need a break. I wish we had a support "area" so we could all help each other.

Give him more time to grow up.
You are very good mum like us.
It is very hard time when we have bad days. Think about good day. Try to do gluten and diary free for him. It will change his temper.
Having a good rest is very important for us.

hi there , i know how ur feeling and id say it,s normal , my son is 9 and most days feel like groundhog day!! i have to answer the same Q's and tell him off for the same things over and over again to the point were some times i wish i could just be invisable for 5 mins untill i can go through it all again , and i have only my son ,so i sympathize with u having a younger child to look after as well, have u got any other family support u can turn to??? not just ur other half. making time for ur self even if just an hour out the house can do the world of good . all i can say is b consistant in telling him whats right and naughty behavior, it will sink in but unfortunetly take a while longer. ur not a bad mom im sure.it's normal to feel like u need some space , i know that my mates with "normal kids" pull their hair out sometimes
