Mum's with Autism and mum's with children with autism

2 year old not sleeping !

My 2 year old is still not sleeping through the night and I feel so incredibly burnt out! He will only sleep if I let him nurse non stop and I can't fall asleep if I'm nursing him. Not to mention it just hurts! He will not take anything else other than the breast and I just can't anymore! He is possibly autistic which I believe is making it as intense as it is. If I just let him cry he will do so for hours or until he pukes. He won't sleep at all but is wide awake during the day, like HOW!!?? I give him melatonin and that only helps him fall asleep, not stay asleep. I feel terrible about being so irritated but it just feels like he crys nonstop all day and night and constantly wants to nurse. Because of an insurance problem I now can't get him seen until November!!! I feel like this is turning into an unsafe situation. My nerves are shot, I'm constantly tired, I have another autistic child to worry about and I feel like I'm going to badly snap with nowhere/no one to turn too. I feel like such a bad mom! Is colic even still a thing at 2!? What do I even do here! 😓
