?? he is severely uneducated about ASD. you don't 'get' ASD post birth bc of anything outside of your genetics, the symptoms and presentation are just easier to notice as they don't meet their milestones and if at all environmental factors are making the behaviors worse. he needs to get educated and quickly bc that just makes him sound stupid he doesn't know about his son's disability enough to know it's a genetic and mostly hereditary disorder. imagine taking your child's disability personally and not seeing them as their own person whose life is more difficult because of what they're struggling with. extremely childish mentality he has. so sorry you're dealing with this.
He is and I have said it is genetic, he has ADHD and ASD. Yh I never noticed till I took him for his 2 year developmental review and it all went from there. I know, want the best for our Son who I know is struggling but that is why I am fighting for him to get that support. All while being criticized for my parenting or being told it is my fault. It is just helpful to have someone to talk to.
honestly, it's reason enough to leave imo but idk your situation girl so i'm not suggesting.. i also have ADHD and ASD and have worked with kids on the spectrum for years before maternity leave. this kind of attitude will only make it harder to support your son and idk if i could trust someone like that around my child alone that doesn't see them for who they are and prioritize their needs. especially for someone who can't speak up for themselves or understand why they're being mistreated. you seem like a great mom trying your best and i would hate for that and your journey with your baby to be sabotaged by someone's constant negativity. 💕 sending love to you. i've been the kiddo who was made to feel more difficult because of my disabilities by my dad and trust it was difficult for my mom to have to defend me all the time to a grown adult. message me if you want any support i'm here for you 💗💗
I know it is but I feel like I can't leave I have no where to go. He does get frustrated with him and thank you I do try to be the best Mum. Sorry to hear what you went through as a child 😔 I am constantly defending my Son as well. Thank you I will 💗💗
Yh and he is high functioning but struggles mentally with it and I don't know if he was ready for kids even tho he said he was or what he thought he only found out officially a few years ago he had ADHD and Autism but he must have suspected it for a while. Yh he gets frustrated the same way when our Son doesn't do something say write a letter A he will get annoyed.
Sounds like it's in the best interest of you and your son to be rid of such a stupid person. He'll only ever harm your son's development and both your mental health
maybe see if there's any way you can make some money even working part time or a side gig making things to save up and get out of there. if your son is getting insurance from the government because of his disability, you might be able to get into a behavioral health center for him so you are able to work and leave this dude. in a healthy environment with the support they need, kids with ASD can progress very fast. they're reflections of their environment for sure so you might see your son blossom in ways you didn't know he could before.
@Ali no he is older. No I didn't know till he told me and I always thought he was hyper and he isn't very social but just thought that was his personality. He went to the doctor. I have already said I am not interested on having more children when he bought up that he wanted more. Yh my Son does have meltdowns quite often and has started getting aggressive.
@tori I work 30 hours a week and study part time. I am working on starting a side hustle and yh I get help for my Son from the government it is called DLA in the UK.
sounds like you're doing the best you can, you have my support completely. 💕 i hope soon you can save up enough to leave. it shouldn't be your job to educate him when most likely he has his phone in his hand 80% of the time especially if he has ASD too. just seems like he has no interest to learn, a shame really. ASD can be so beautiful when you have the support to thrive.
It’s easier to blame you than for him to accept the things he can’t control in life I’m sorry he’s blaming you. ❤️
