    I don't have a child with special needs, but I have 3 young children (5, 3 and 10 months) and I'm exhausted. I've got about 30lbs to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight.

    How old is your child? Do you have someone to help look after him/her?

    I need to lose a good 30 pounds, I have 5 kids I have 2 special needs and I seem to always be tired but I noticed that when I do go on the treadmill it wakes me up and gives me energy so I look forward to it :)
    One of my 8 year old twins is Autistic and I have a little girl that is 22 months old with Down syndrome <3

    Hi! 3 kids, 2 asd (1 on each end of severity). Baby is only 2, a little bit behind in development. I have lost 52lbs, with another 10 ish to go. I understand being always tired physically , and overwhelmed mentally. Exercise time is my only "me" time and I insist on it daily, (hubby takes over for an hour). Counting calories gives me control I don't always get elsewhere. You've got this!

    I am completely worn out. I have a 16 yr old son who was officially diagnosed with autism about 7 years ago. I am dealing with his raging hormones. He tells me every day he wants to kiss a girl. This is killing me, because I so want him to have a normal life.
