You ARE worth it! give yourself the freedome to look after your own needs. And, it is okay to feel the struggle you are facing.

What kind of supports do you have?

- Find some support groups; not just those for parents with autistic youngsters, but a support group for 'care givers'
- are you able to have 'home care' services (not sure what that would be called there) come in and relieve you each week?
- are service dogs an option there? My friend has had one for several years for her daughter. It has benefited the entire family (this dog is also an 'alert' dog for her daughter's epilepsy and other medical conditions)
