Episode 31: Stress & Deteriorating Health of Autism Parents

I asked the question:  Has anyone’s health took a turn for the worse since your child’s diagnosis or as your child has grown your health has faltered because you are still stressed, staying up or getting up at all hours of the night, anxiety is still high because of worrying about the future, ... etc? I have noticed my own health is suffering from lack of sleep as Paige has gotten older and I’m still up all night. I always thought.. when she’s older she will finally sleep. Well so far it’s a no. So this got me thinking, I can’t be the only one who feels this way.  I talk about what parents shared and some solutions. Thank you so much to everyone for sharing your health issues and concerns. It is a hard life and we all need to talk about ourselves as parents and caregivers and what we go through on a daily basis. Let’s help each other, even if it's just to offer support or to give a nod of understanding.  Link to article I mentioned and quoted: https://iancommunity.org/ssc/stress-and-autism-parent _________________________________   [email protected] Sansthesugarcoat.com  FB: @sansthesugarcoat IG: @sansthesugarcoat   https://www.especialneeds.com/ use code : Sugarcoat5 for 5% off your entire purchase  (Some restrictions apply)
