Hi. I’m a dad to am amazing little boy who’s 1½ years old and am expecting another boy in October so there’ll be just shy of 2 years apart. Me and my wife both have autism diagnosis although mine is a lot more manageable than my wife who has PDA (Pathological demand avoidance.
I love being a dad and can’t wait till they grow up a bit more and can come camping and exploring with me, but it is very difficult at the minute to find any time for myself and relax without being needed constantly. I’m also type 1 diabetic and find it hard to manage it well with everything going on. We have a very supportive family but not many friends because of social difficulties etc.
Just want to say hi and see if anyone can relate.
