Hello,
My son is 23 and suffers from asbergers, and my little girl is 5 and is autistic.0 -
Always issue's my son live's with his girl friend, but I have to sort all his finances for him. He does work but we find it very difficult to get him to go in for his shifts. Suffers panic attacks quite regular, and has a very low opinion of himself, sometimes get worried about what will happen to him when Im no longer here to help him, or look after his little sister. Also his mother, my wife suspects that she may be on the spectrum it all adds to that. quite worrying I can tell you.0

@Terryelding I read an interesting article about a growing number of mothers who are discovering their diagnosis after their children are diagnosed, particularly with autism. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/dec/26/autism-hidden-pool-of-undiagnosed-mothers-with-condition-emerging0
