It's been a hard week, my kids literally do not understand the concept of sleep. Nor do they accept that everyone, including them, needs it

Autism.. I need to talk about it... BUT We don't use that word in this house.

...See more My Son is 3. He recently received an autism spectrum diagnosis. I always knew in my gut that there was something that needed to be addressed. My husband was so reluctant every step of the way, no matter how obviously my son struggled. We've had huge fights over this topic. I need to talk about it soI can learn and help him (my son) embrace it in ways that help him be the best him that he is capable of, but it's such a touchy subject. It's especially difficult because my husband has past training in aiding ADULTS (not children) with disabilities. He also has 2 younger siblings that are VERY high functioning and both are absolutely spoiled adults who CHOOSE to be pricks. It's a really difficult situation for me. My son has been acting out like no body's business sines we had our second baby (who's 9mo now). He's not sleeping, he's extremely rude, which is new, and we're in the middle of a pandemic so outside resources are low.... Ugh I could go on but that would be too much for a first post (if it's not already) I feel so stuck, lost, and beyond drained Any tips, advice, support, or good humor is deeply needed.
