It only takes one child with extreme disabilities to put a family in chaos under the best circumstances. God bless them for adopting older kids and their siblings to keep them together.
We are at our wits' end right now. I have zero help for my autistic adult son, and he's been frustrated and violent for the past six months. He injured my husband this weekend to the point he cannot participate in his care, and beat on me this morning, including hitting me in the head.
