Parents of children with autism

Posts: 545 Member
I am ready to shed my weight. I have a daughter with autism. I'd love to have a support for loss this weigh while on the autism roller coaster ride. So if there are other parents out there with kids with autism let help each other out in the weight loss and raising very special children.

    Hi there is a group on here - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1322-autism-support for autism parents.

    I have a 14 year old with a diagnosis,8 year old who has just finished the diagnosis but is borderline so we go back in a year, a strange 9 year old and a 3 year old who paediatricians think is also autistic and is on the waiting list for a diagnosis.

    It can be hard fitting in make time when you have kids but it is so much harder when they are not NT.

    Feel free to add me.
