I'm sorry you are having to deal with everything on your own, I have forst hand experience with how difficult special needs are, and that was with me being a support person. ( my uncle, a cousin, and volunteering at a special needs facility). I commend you for being there for your son, and wish you the best through your journey, I pray things get easier for you.

@Kelsey my kids is highly functional but he lacks emotions and empathy. He wants to be rude & disrespectful towards his peers, family but when it's done to him. The whole world is coming to an end. It's like he doesn't understand every action has a consequence.. I feel like I'm a rollercoaster with this kids that never ends..

Is he in therapy?

My ex and his youngest have both been diagnosed as narcissistic personality disorder, it was/ is difficult to deal with. He didn't want therapy and refused therapy for his son, once he moved to Florida, me and his bio mom talked about getting his youngest into therapy ( where he was diagnosed) and although he still can't really feel empathy, and has a lack of most emotions, he has learned how to pick up on other peoples queues of hurt feelings, and has learned how to be more respectful towards his peers and everyone else. Finding an activity that he enjoys has helped too, we have him in hockey, I still pick him up one weekend a month with my new husband and we play disc golf with him, and he enjoys bowling with us.

I agree, it’s a lot! ☹️ There’s not a lot of people in my circle of friends and family that truly understand how exhausting it is.
