Babysitters/ getting a break

caniask86 · 2017-07-03 17:25:44

Hi all, do you all have much support with your ASD child? Its very hard for us to arrange babysitters and when we do usually our son is asleep when they do babysit. Do you find your relationships are harder when you have a child with ASD? I find that life can be stressful.

The relationship breakup rates for parents of ASD children are astronomical. The wait until the child is asleep for babysitting will only work while the child is young. As they get older bedtime gets later (or they get way more difficult to get to sleep). Personal experience of both here.
