Dear Lori,
I am so sorry to hear about how hard of a time you are having. As the mother of an autistic son, I know exactly how you feel about being lonely a lot of the time.
My friends are doing research that I think may help you and other parents in our situation.
If you have a few minutes to take a survey, they would greatly appreciate it and it would help parents with autistic children. The link is here:

Lots of love to you and know you're not alone,

Hi,
I am a grandmother trying to help out her daughter who has twin girls with autism. Both are 12 and over the years as funny as this may seem, not only do you parents of autistic children feel lonely, but the grandparents who help out along the way feel this way as well. Just this morning I woke up, thanked god but wondered what our lives are going to be like when these twins become teens, adults and how do we help them especially grandma when I am older than I am now. I am in my 50's but I still find it hard to watch them grow and suffer all the difficulties we have endured along the way.
I work in law enforcement and I have to get going at 4am, but sometimes on that long walk to my car in the parking lot, I always think "how long will I be able to keep this up before retirement" and what then? Yes, its very lonely. We all moved in together to care for one of the autistic children who needs 24 hour care and this experience has taken a lot out of me. I would not change it for the world because I love my twin granddaughters, but things are very lonely sometimes and even I could use some other grandparents who are having this experience. ↑ |

| Wow, know exactly what you're feeling. My husband works 6 days a week, and with getting to and from work is sometimes out of the house for 10-11 hours a day. I'm a younger mom (22) of a 3 year old autistic boy, a 19 month old boy, and currently 11 weeks pregnant. Nobody my age is "settled" down and are all out still partying etc. and seem to have no need for a responsible friend. Can get pretty overwhelming dealing with an autistic child and sometimes would be amazing to be able to talk to somebody who knows what it's like. ↑ |

Hae Lori,
I am Anuna, an AAC specialist treating children with Autism. May be you can try communicating more to your youngest. Being a speech therapist, I can tell you that the more you try communicating with the Autism kids, they turn interactive and start listening to us.
You can take a look at our autism app in case you are looking for a communication device for your youngest.

I am sure, she will love this app. ↑ |

| My daughter had some develomental delay by aged 2, was diagnosed at 8 years old and is almost 12 now. As I read your comments, it all sounds so familiar. For me the scariest part was thinking ahead to the future, and having to let go - and instead - not knowing what to expect. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst, as the song goes. But I do want to be encouraging because I can tell you, your autistic kids will surprise you. Almost all of the autistic kids I know have outperformed experts expectations for them. Your kids will grow and will learn however differently from typical kids. Many autistic kids I know, by age 12 have much improved self-regulation, and social skills. They will make gains, and you will rejoice in them. After all, without big challenges, there are no big victories. And you'll find that you've become an expert along the way - the astounding force of caring that motherhood brings will be a constant wind at your back. Every single thing you're doing to help them matters, and if you're like mom's I know, you'll be tireless in doing your very best to help your kids, in whatever way seems smartest to you. I don't believe there is a single way - every autistic kid is so different . Meanwhile the world needs to find a way to value our kids, who will become adults. We're getting there - the sheer number of autistic kids will force everyone to wake up to their reality and find a place among the them. You will make it through - as mothers just do. Dont' forget to remind your friends how much you love your autistic child and that they bring joy to you, inspite of it all - just like regular kids. Try to show others why they should value your child. Just get through today, and tomorrow morning worry about tomorrow. Your child will get better. Will they be perfect? No human child has achieved that yet so the answer is no. My very best to you and your family. ↑ |
