Me time for parents/carers of autistic children

Recommended Posts

Hi all I'm a bit lost. My soon to be 5 year old son has been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder which may refine to Asperger's Syndrome. I also have a 3 year old who is currently under assessment for autism.

 

I feel trapped, I'm a full time carer at home and also have a baby girl with no health problems. My hubby gets out fishing and I'm glad he gets some time out but I get nothing. I know it's my job to care for my children but I'm starting to feel resentful as I never get a break.

 

How do other carers or parents of children in the spectrum get down time?

What kind of break would you like?

There is a group for kids with these conditions, my two boys have ADHD and impulsivity disorders. Its called Kids Together and they meet at Junglemania every 2 weeks. Its at reduced cost and the food is very reasonable.
