Hey @CloudJumper,  Welcome to ReachOut! I’d like to start off by saying thank you for sharing what you’re experiencing. I can hear how frightened you are and can see how taxing this must be for you. Having experienced this for 12 months shows just how much you have endured, and I admire your resilience and strength to have gone through this during this time. I hope you can see how incredible you are, as an individual and a parent!  While parenting alone is challenging, having a child with multiple diagnoses can make parenting that extra bit tougher. I can see that your son has a few diagnoses, and so I am wondering if he is actively seeing a healthcare professional to support him with this? It sounds like you are also feeling depleted by the situation and behaviour of your son. I can see that you’ve spoken to others who haven’t given you any helpful advice and have laughed at the citation, which is disappointing and invalidating. I want to reassure you that your feelings are completely valid and you are doing your best to support your son. Given how you are feeling, I am curious to know if you have any professional support for yourself? Someone like a GP or psychologist?  If you’re interested in one-on-one support, ReachOut offers Parent Coaching which is a free coaching service for parents and carers. Another support service that you might find helpful connecting with is Parentline. They offer free telephone counselling and support service for parents and carers with children aged 0 to 18. Finally, Headspace provides free online and telephone support and counselling to young people 12 - 25 and their families and friends. This could be a service your son can connect with, and you also - which could be helpful.  An email has also been sent to you, so please keep an eye out for that!  ... View more
