I Have a Child With Autism

My daughter K is in 6th grade and she has autism. In the beginning of the school year they didn't have a teacher just a sub. It was like 6 weeks or more before they had a teacher.

And I brainstormed ideas for her behavior issues. But nothing works because she's learned that bad behavior gets her home to do whatever.

She's escalating.

Now she's going to be transferred to a special school for behavior issues. Her brother goes to the same school.

But for some reason it really got to me. I could hear my daughter screaming bloody murder as I left my meeting. Its really hard seeing your child with autism having these issues and being helpless to stop it.

My husband did NOT tell me that its gonna be ok. Nope.

First he told me that bad things happen so you won't go to Hell. Which, is fine to say, but, maybe not at THAT exact moment.

Then at home, he went off to describe all these problems.

My husband has been saying over and over again that if you complain, that you are a disbeliever and won't go to Paradise. Someone who has horrible things happen to them and doesn't complain, will get this and NOT you.

Its a bit troubling. I'll probably confide is someone better than me on this issue.

This is just not the right time to talk about this.

I'm dealing with this basically all by myself. If he does help me calm her down, which he can do easily because he's kind of a leaner Alpha so my daughter mostly calms down around him.

But its still so hard. He can talk but he's not doing any of the work.
That is a rough situation to go through, it is truly testing your control abilities, and your husbands silliness about the afterlife thing is not helping, only complicating things.

I wonder if it might be better to consider home schooling in a situation like this? Maybe when they get a little older they can be moved into more structured learning? It is a hard situation no matter how you do it.

There is no way I could homeschool her all by myself. She's chubby and very strong. Sometimes I walk on eggshells around her myself.

The school she's being transferred to is really good. My son goes there and I've seen good results with him going there.
Ok, well lets hope they can calm her down, who knows, she might even end up liking it there.

Sounds a very very hard thing for you to be dealing with. I wish you the best with it. I'm sorry that for you right now your husband doesn't seem to be listening to you or supporting you. Good luck
