But why don't you just SeT a BoUnDaRy??
I have a hard enough time sometimes with my (so far) neurotypical kids, and I can't imagine parenting a kid with special needs.
ETA: Have you ever read The Explosive Child? I don't know if it would work well for neurodiverse kids, but I picked up several strategies there that help me manage situations more adeptly while also mostly keeping the peace.
