Dilemmas of caring for children with ASD from the perspective of a parent and a psychologist

As a mother of two autistic boys, I have been exposed to many dilemmas. I tried to introspect these dilemmas through the eyes of a psychologist. I work as a psychologist with parents of children with ASD and take care of their mental health. I’m not afraid to talk about any topic, I’m happy to answer questions. We will stop, for example, at the topic of special schools and nurseries, inclusion, home care and when we run out of energy and are looking for a placement for the child. How to balance family life with a child with ASD.
