MDJunction to me

Joy75"MDJunction to me is a second home. I visit daily to support and get supported. Everyone is so great here. The people are what make this site so
perfect. When someone says I helped them, I feel so good about myself. When
I am down, I come here to talk with my lovely friends. This is a great site
and I’ve come to love it and my friends here. Thank you for making such a
wonderful place to call home!

Hi! my name is Tammy, I'm 36 and I have 2 boys age 4 and 6 and a daughter age 10 months. My 4 year old has Autism Disorder, Chiari Malformation Type I, Seizures, PICA, and ADHD, and my 6 year old has PDD, ADHD, and ODD. So far our daughter is showing any signs. I myself was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and my doctor believes I have either adult high functioning autism or Asperger's.

Right now my life is extremely stressed out. My 4 year old just got out of the hospital because of becoming extremely violent and destructive one day his behavior specialist for wrap around and I had to put his crisis plan into effect. He is so aggressive and impulsive. His older brother can be also at times and is very protective and I mean protective of his brother and sister. If he thinks someone is going to hurt them he will attack you.

I worry more about them istead of taking care of myself and have gotten into some deep problems of my own.

The stress is so high in our house that me and my husband are constantly short with each other. Sad
