Hi, my name is Aimee and I'm from Leicestershire,
I've a partner same age as me and 3 children aged 10 weeks old girl, 1 year old girl and an 11 year old boy for a few years my son is diagnosed with ADHD but now is being assessed for Autism and I've struggled for awhile but seems to struggle more with him when his tablets are less effective 
I've hardly any friends and life has been hard but I try pushing through each day and also try and be as positive as I can for my boy but in other ways I'm easily frustrated because I don't know how to help him let alone me know how to cope with it because I've not had the support network in years from family or from school really hasn't been a rough ride.
Don't have many friends that understand.
Is it normal for me to feel the way I do or does it male me a bad person ?
Sorry for big post I want to get to know you peeps meet new peeps and know that I'm not alone in this also my partner is step dad to my son and can't fault him hes amazing and always tries his best for my son. Soh is verbal but it's like he doesn't understand our level of thinking or simple tasks.
Anyway enough of me now.
Thank you for reading and hope to hear from you peeps soon

Yes, your feelings are common for an autism mom. I think you will find people here helpful in your struggles to understand your son.
