ParticipantHi
I am an older single mum age 51.
My daughter is 16 and autistic/ Aspergers.
Life is difficult and lonely as sinngle mum, with lack of support for my daughter has caused more isolation.
Woupd be good to connect with anyone else in a similar situation. -

I’m also an older mum. I’m 50 with two boys age 14 & 12. Oldest is autistic and youngest has ADHD. I am also there full-time care. I totally hear you when you say single parent life is hard and lonely. Because I don’t work I have felt very isolated for a long time now. happy to catch 🙂

ParticipantHi.
I am 49, nearly 50 in August and I have a 13yr old daughter who has Aspergers and Sensory Issues. When my daughter eventually goes to bed, I go to my bed too. I’m exhausted. My “me time” is sleep! 🤣

ParticipantHi, I too am a 45 year old single mum. My kids are 12 and 10. It’s nice to connect with other single mums. Sometimes it feels like there aren’t many other single mums out there because most of my children’s friends in school have parents who are still together. Nice to meet you all 🙂

ParticipantI’m 50 with a 6 year old. It’s a good time in life to have a kid I think 🙂 he has changed my life for the better in so many ways and I think I’m a better mum at this age than I would have been in my 20s or even my early 30s.

ParticipantApologies about taking so long to reply.
Unsure if this forum is private and concerned giving to much personal information away.
I find every day a battle for support services.
It stresses me so much it makes me feel unwell.
There is still a stigma of autism/ Aspergers and I did not expect family to blame me along with school did,for her anxiety instead do support us. -
