Parent of a special needs child
Life is going smooth and problem free until our kid was born. He is the cutest child that I've seen. He didn't start speaking until he is 2. We went to the doctors and he is diagnosed with autism. We did everything in our scope. Going to therapies. Nothing helped much. Now he is 6. Still not able to communicate. Everyday is a struggle for us. Managing the work, therapies and kids. We had our second child hoping that the second child's company will change him. The second born is perfectly normal and now 2 Yr old. This second one is very small hence need basic parents attention to grow. Me and my wife are screwed up in our routine. Feeling guilty for not being able to spend much time with kids. We get frustrated and sometimes kids and depression make us to fight with eachother. We are trying to put up the fake smile but inside We are crying every moment. We cannot even die because we need to live for the kids. Loads of pain. Just sharing to get relief!

Hats off to you man. You should be proud of you and your wife. This bond proves that you two are team players and you won in life. There is a lot of struggle but you will find a way. Lots of love to you and your family.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hats off to parents like you. I always shudder from worry how difficult the lives of parents with special needs kids, must be. Stay strong and hope something good comes up
Am sailing in the same boat. I too have a 8 year old non verbal autistic kid and a normal kid. Accept it. They will be with us forever. They are the lovely ones showing pure love infact. Ignore what society and relatives says. Just relax. If you need any assistance please DM me. I will be more happy to share information if i could be of any help.
Hey can you share symptoms of non verbal autism in a child
Same thing with me as well. My kid is 6 yrs old now, diagnosed with autism. Non verbal. I am somehow managing between work and his therapies.
First of all , lots of respect 🫡 to you . I remember a line I heard from one of the gurus speaking to a mom who was guilty and frustrated juggling between work and children - a parent would never give less than 100 percent to their children or their loved ones . It’s the beauty of human nature - you will always feel you can give more and that’s what is hurting you right now
Secondly control the controllable . Your special child will always need more support from you guys , please continue to support him without an inch of regret or remorse . He must be in more pain than you and your wife .
Third , kids does gives us purpose for life , challenges us to learn from a different personality yet resembling yourself in so many ways . Think of you, your wife and the children as a team and not just as a family . You need to achieve things together . One may not be at its best , one may not be at its potential yet but as a team you all have to try and stay happiest , healthiest and wealthiest for all the reasons
May be go out for a vacation if that’s a possibility or get a house help that can stay wit you looking at your children some time so that you both can focus on work . Also , don’t dwell too much about what future holds for your family , things bound to happen will happen anyways …
All the best and very brave of you to share your feelings
Watch Sadguru Exclusive The child may be Rushimuni or Special after sometime they become active and gifted with abilities later in Life watch last month on Sadguru Exclusive
Power to you and loads of respect ❤️ There will be one day when you will look back and be proud about the whole journey. Your kids will give you enough reasons to smile. Just hold on!!
How about some professional help on raising the first born? It sure must be back breaking to take care of that kid
Nothing is harder for a parent than seeing their child suffer. More power to you and your wife ❤️
These days children don't get good home environment leading to these things.Joint families are best as child gets lot of exposure.These days we are living just for money which is killing our future generations mental health..Being low key would help all of us definitely n cultivating old family values at our homes...
No .These issues are not started today because of nuclear family. It was there since very long. In my village also I have seen people with such issue . As people were not much educated and not financially good , they will take it as Result of Their Previous Birth Karma nd used to follow spiritual path. . Now with improvement in science it is detected properly and termed as a health issue backed by lot of research. All these happen due to some rare issue in DNA and blood. Not because of any home environment. Even many joint family also used to have such kids . And many nuclear family kids also Grow well.
This is tough, bro. I can understand as my kid was diagnosed with autism too when he was 2 years old. He is 5 years old now and has started speaking a few words. Just stick to his occupational and speech therapies, make sure you're not missing them. Eventually, he'll improve. You guys are doing good and should stick together. You can only create a healthy atmosphere within your family when you and your wife are having a good relationship. Remember it's nobody's fault, kids grow more in a happy environment.
What could be the reason? And how to identify?
