Your Son will need to see your GP and arrange possible tests. There should be help available for both Son and Mam. If this has not happened make an appointment There are also various charities that will also give support

Can you not get any help and support from anywhere? How about family? Do they know how you are feeling and the trials that you are having to deal with? Sometimes people don't want to interfere or intrude. I would start with your family to give you a bit of help and support and failing that ask your GP to put you in touch with any groups or professionals that may be able to offer some guidance.

Hi Rebecca
I have two sons with ADHD and Autisim. I also have PTSD too.
I appreciate how difficult this is for you. Looking after children with Autisim ADHD can be challenging and sometimes frustrating ad much as we love them.
Having a network of support like someone mentioned is important school church grandparents parents etc basically anyone who can help.
It's okay to ask for help. A good resource I found is ADDitude and you can sign up for free.
Have you applied for DLA for your children too it means you can use it buy things that maybe beneficial a trampoline is a great way of using up all that energy.
There is Also the Cauldwell Children you can find this online.
F8nd support groups in your area too they have family days etc.
Looking after your diet getting enough rest is key in helping your mental health.
Contact your sons ADHD team who can direct you also. Don't beat yourself up be kind to yourself.
