Something’s not right

Re: Feeling frustrated right now

I'm not worried about coping with little ones @Former-Member @ I've been constantly around kids as I have 7 nieces and nephews ranging from 3months to 6years

 

While the month would be easier if I lived closer but they are in NSW and I am in mid North Qld it wouldn't be right to uproot them that much to potentially have to go somewhere else in a month.

Especially for miss 7 as I have been through what she has and know that what she needs desperately right now is something stable and reliable

 

But I also have my son to think about and he struggles with even the smallest change but this would be major changes that would not only change the routines he is use to but also his lifestyle.

I would get government assistance at least until the youngest starts school but after that would be solely our own income

Re: Feeling frustrated right now

There are studies out there that show the good and negative sides of siblings of ASD children (which is effectively the role they would have despite being aunt/uncles) @Former-Member .  

Perhaps even speak to one of your son's medical professionals about it if you are concerned about the impact on him.

Re: Feeling frustrated right now

Sounds like a lot has happened in the last few days @Former-Member, @Former-Member provides some great advice about speaking to your son's medical team about the impact. This is definitely a big decision to make, so speaking to others about the impact not only on your son but on yourself and other member's of your family is important. Have you had a chance to book some time to talk about it? Heart
