    You need to quit beating yourself up and find yourself worth. It is there you just need to look for it. Often when we have hardships it is to find the silver lining, Maybe look for a support group or organization for mothers with autistic children, You are good enough you just need some support.

    You need to join a support group of mothers of autistic children. That will give you ideas and information and new friends. It will also get you out of the house and away from loneliness.
