Currently, I’m writing this on the couch in a pitch black room so that my son doesn’t wake up or get fidgety. Because once he’s up, he’s up.
...
He’s fidgety because he has a dingaling for a mother who doesn’t want him.
Autism is a difficult diagnosis.
up to about 30 years ago these kids were institutionalized. For their sake and the sakes of the families.
Now we institutionalize them in group homes, after the families have suffered, been torn apart and have had the stuffing tossed out of them.
I know of three parents who have murdered their autistic child then suicided. Because I am not talking about someone with some disabilities, I am talking about children who put holes in the plasterboard, daily, who chew off their fingers, poke out their eyes, and yell and scream.
Certainly not all of them, but there are levels of enormous difficulties. Patent essentially turn the kids room into a cell.
Tragic for they love their kids deeply, but get nothing back.
Good that she is venting. Perhaps the child will qualify for a group home someday.
