Who can AutismParentSupport really help?

While every parent and Autistic Spectrum Disorder child is unique, the struggles that people are going through have a lot in common.

As a parent, do any of the following scenarios seem familiar?

• You do a lot for your child, but one thing you cannot do is make other children want to play with him, so your heart is aching.
• You are trying to earn a living and give your family everything it needs.  You rush from pillar to post and still don’t have time to play with your child, let alone find time for yourself
• You love your children equally, and so try and give equal attention to all of them, but somehow your Special Child takes up so much attention you feel constantly like you are short changing your others
• You are trying to do your best in your constant interaction with the “authorities”- school, social workers…..but whether they listen or not, sometimes it all just seems like “too much.”
• You want to give your child the best, and constantly wonder “if only I just tried this”, everything would be alright, but then you try it and your life is still the same.  You begin to despair.
• You try to educate your family and friends about autism but time after time you are hurt by comments, well meaning or not, that come your way.  You are worn thin……

If one or more of these sound like you, there’s hope. You don’t have to struggle alone.  Your life can be different. AutismParentSupport can help you.

My approach works for:

• Parents with one or more at home children on the autistic spectrum.
• Single parents caring for an ASD child.
• Step-parents who are living with a child on the autistic spectrum.
• Absent or divorced parents who still have a relationship with their ASD child.
• Guardians, Care Home staff or other family members with a close and responsible relationship with an autistic child.
• Parents or carers whose ASD child has grown up and left home.
• Parents whose “child” is a teenager or an adult.
• Any of the above, where the child has a condition with some similar manifestations to autism.

So, what can AutismParentSupport do for you?

As a parent of an ASD child, I’ve been where you are and I know what you are going through.  And while every family situation is unique, I’ve seen many common patterns. My clients tell me that my understanding of what they are facing helps them through these challenges.

“I felt listened to with care and compassion.  Your understanding meant I didn’t have to even explain myself- we could go straight to the bit that matters- doing something about it.  With your help my life has made real improvements- I am sleeping better, my relationship with my child is calmer and I feel much stronger when I talk to his teachers.  Thank you.”

But will it work for you?

It will, if you relate to some or all of the following:

• You love your ASD child(ren). This is the bottom line, whatever your struggles.
• You love your non ASD child(ren). Of course you do, you are a parent.
• You want to remember who you are, separate from your parent role. Remember, that uniqueness of being “you”….
• You care about your family and want the best for all of you.
• You suspect you could use some support, running on empty isn’t working.
• You are willing to get help. Even though it may seem selfish, deep down you know that the best way to help your child, is to make sure that you re replenished where you need it.

If you relate in any way to what I have written here, it’s time to get some help. You don’t have to go through this alone.

I’ve made the first step easy for you.  Simply download my free (and short) audio piece, “Here I am”.  I’ve specifically designed it to give you a brief breathing space so you can get back in touch with yourself.  It gives you something you can do a few minutes every day that’s for you – and that’s okay.
