Episode 31: Stress & Deteriorating Health of Autism Parents

Published: Oct. 17, 2019, 8:30 a.m.

I asked the question:\xa0

Has anyone\u2019s health took a turn for the worse since your child\u2019s diagnosis or as your child has grown your health has faltered because you are still stressed, staying up or getting up at all hours of the night, anxiety is still high because of

worrying about the future, ... etc?

I have noticed my own health is suffering from lack of sleep as Paige has gotten older and I\u2019m still up all night. I always thought.. when she\u2019s older she will finally sleep. Well so far it\u2019s a no.

So this got me thinking, I can\u2019t be the only one who feels this way.\xa0

I talk about what parents shared and some solutions. Thank you so much to everyone for sharing your health issues and concerns. It is a hard life and we all need to talk about ourselves as parents and caregivers and what we go through on a daily basis. Let\u2019s help each other, even if it's just to offer support or to give a nod of understanding.\xa0
