Hello how is anyone here? I have no idea what to leave here, so I’ll just get to something small. I suffer of depression, and anxiety what worries me 24/7 is my son’s wellbeing as he grows up especially as he has learning disability since before he was 1.

Welcome n glad ur here with us. 
hi and welcome to you.i have an 8 year old son who is autistic I know how you feel at times it can be really hard.specially over the last couple of weeks its causing cause for concern.last Saturday he was strangling me kicking me attempting to bite me but I tried to laugh it off.not easy though with all of lives other problems but hes my son and I tend to brush it off.i too have depression/anxiety and im here to chat anytime.take care.
Hi Kenster, I have a 20 year old non verbal autistic son. If you don't mind me asking, is your son verbal? Are these new behaviors for your son or has he acted this way before?
hi every few months he will have a period of days when it becomes really difficult and hard to handle.two years ago on a boating trip he was lashing out being cheeky to all the passengers I tried everything to calm him down.eventually I held him from behind with his arms at his side and held him till he got out all his frustration I find now that's the best way for me to handle those situations.yeah one minute my son can be really sweet then just come out with random things like he hates me and wishes he never had a dad but I keep calm about it as I know he doesn't really mean it.
It's so hard, people being judgemental makes it a lot worse as well. My eldest daughter is 15 and she is high functioning with Asperger's and pathological demand avoidance. She's as tall as me and looks completely 'normal' but she hates going out and often kicks off in public. It's not her fault but in the moment I find it difficult not to take it personally and ignorant people who assume she doesn't know how to behave make it so much worse.
What saddens me with my son sometimes when he cries for no reason. Just an hour ago he was crying and I kept asking him what’s wrong? Even though he didn’t answer me I just layed him on the bed watching him and hushing his mouth, not to stress it for myself. As crying is his only way of communication with myself and parents.
Hi Nanmiejavie, so glad to have you here. I suffer with depression and anxiety and have an autistic nonverbal 20 year old son too. If you'd like to chat pm me any time.
Love and light to you. ❤🌹
I’m scared my son won’t talk. I don’t want him to be a muted person for the rest of his life. I cry sometimes, thinking about that.
Your son is still young, he could still speak. My son doesn't talk but he can communicate his wants and needs with pictures. Have you tried teaching him signs? Does he have a speech therapist? It is sad what our children have to go through but we have to be strong as their mom's and do the best we can for them. Believe me, I understand. ❤
