thankyou BT1978

yes i beleive youre right..from the start my son admitted he had started the cannabis to fit in.he said it was not about the drugs but about being part of the gang.and hes been going back and forth to this gang ever since

my boy seems to have done the opposite to yorus maybe as in that mine seems to have got worse with the autism the older he has got.hes highly functioning very inteligent but has always struggled to make friends and to speak..the older hes got the worse he has been with talking.he used to be so chatty to me but now just grunts most of the time.part of that maybe the drugs or maybe the fact he thinks hes 16/17 and just hitting a typical teenage type of years.when he was 16 he still had cuddly toys and wanted lots of hugs.then using cannabis he changed over night and withdrew more and more.but i still didnt have the back chat and swearing like I am nowadays.

I appreciate your insight.Its good to know im not alone although im sorry you have had your struggles too.thankyou for your support

thankyou Cathsp

I do think you have a point there.I dont do many good things for myself to be honest..and often let myself down..

I do ackowledge I need to treat myself and breath some peace at times.

Ive had yet another worrying weekend with ym son but feeling a lot less stressed than I usually am so I think having takne the step to come here and start finding something for myself is already helping me..and i might just might buy myself something ive been looking at but putting off getting as dont like spending on myself :/

sadly i cant go for a walk im disabled ( need pushed in wheelchair )but i do like my music..i do find it helps me unwind and relax..

thankyou for the support x
