Sorry to hear that Byfish life with any teenager is difficult i got 2 lads 17 ,14 they r challenging but have no labels to explain their journey coz its normal but i got my youngest son with autism and loads of labels challenging behaviours and severe learning difficulties . when the day is dark and there seems no hope remember you are not alone theres loads of us there doing it quietly just like you are . Stay strong and just take today as it comes and dont plan too far ahead coz without today and getting the dusk in then tomorrow comes . i know i talk a bit in riddles but without just getting this day in and over then you can have pleasure of tomorrow . just remember teenage days are difficult days and top it with few extra society labels makes it hundredfold . STAY STRONG FOR TODAY and remember to have some little thing in your life thats just for you will be thinking of you .

hi by fish, I live in kent and have a 4 year old son with ASD/LD and I am trying to meet other careers in the kent area so that we can share the ups and downs of disabled kids etc. (sorry this sounds a bit like a lonely hearts ad, but it is not!) if u want to chat I try to get in the chat room on here most nights. Take care and just take one day at a time, that is what I do as if i think to deeply about what tomorrow will bring I would probably give up now! Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
