Children and young adults on the autism spectrum all have an innate need for sensory stimulation.

Do you feel exhausted by your daily routine with your Autistic child or teenager? Do you feel overwhelmed, like it is all too much sometimes? You are not alone. We have all been there. We've all had our moments where we want to scream and bury our heads. I, myself, am sleep-deprived, frustrated and running desperately low on hope at times. I can tell you first hand that Autism Fatigue is a real issue to many families. Being a caregiver of any kind is exceptionally hard on a person physically, mentally and emotionally. It can become a monotonous task of routine and scheduling. Being a caregiver can be enough to run anyone down if you don’t take time for yourself as well. Time for yourself! If you are like me, you have no idea what that phrase means… or didn’t used too.

It is instead a fight to get the public to understand that our children are each different and worthy of dignity in their differences. Many times over the years I have dealt with pure ignorance from the general public when it came to dealing with my child. I’m sure you have as well.

Many parents send their children to school with the expectation that they are not going to receive a bill from the school for damaged materials. We just sort of figure that the school will cover the costs if something happens on their property; after all, they have insurance-right! Well, depending on where you live and what school your child attends that may essentially not be a reality.
