@A MyAutismTeam Member... I cry a lot. Then I go about what I have to do.... I like comfort food when I’m having a real bad day
Same here. My family lives in Texas and my wife’s family in Maryland. Most of our friends have moved on and we have no one who can watch our daughter. We are looking into respite services. I shift work, so my schedule is different from week to week. I hate being at work and worrying about home. Its hard to focus sometimes. We deal with aggression also.
