Ive read several articles on parents killing their autistic children and it breaks my heart. Trust me, I know how down a parent can get and how it can affect a parents health (my own health has been affected) but to kill your child, really?! Ive always lived by the thought that, if there is a will there is a way. Ask someone to help and if that isnt working and you feel you have no way out then go to your local hospital/ police station. Tell them you cant deal with the pressure anymore. Tell everyone. Just please dont harm that precious child. When slater acts up and it happens several times daily. I take a step back and regroup. Nothing I have is to valuable to be broken or destroyed. If he wants to scream I let him. He does it for a reason and its my job to figure out why. I never blame slater for outbursts he cant control. I have learned to accept them. Think of those wonderful times when your child hugs you or gives you a kiss. Or the second they are quiet. How heavenly are those moments. Let those carry you through the bad. Slater has a lot of issues but never have I thought of harming him. I hope the government will get its act together and do whatever is needed for parents and child with autism. It is life long and the numbers are raising. I would love to see one care aide / household for each child on the spectrum that needs it. I have someone that works with slater because I have fibromyalgia and am bedridden for weeks at a time. Im just lucky enough to live in a part of the world that affords me this luxury at an inexpensive rate. In canada I was struggling but in my struggle not once did I want to harm my child. My only suggestion is to seek help if you have any dreadful thoughts of harming your child or yourself.
