So since this lockdown..I've been home with my 2 sons who have special needs. I haven't seen another adult and I'm slightly going mad.. this is bloody hard work.
I'd prefer being at work to be honest.. normally it's fine.. I can socialise, meet people, take them out etc.. but this is just arghhhh..
They're both regressing as they're out of routine and if I'm on here alot it's just because I want someone to talk to at the moment..
Anyway anyone else struggling or are you all lucky to have support? X |

My wife supports SEN children in school, so yes a break in their routine can cause problems. Some of the children’s parents ring her and she will often chat to the child. Depends on the age of your children, there are resources available online which may help or phone your school for advice  |

Locked down by myself in a little farmhouse in the wilds of Cornwall (I take a winter let from September to May for work).
Apart from supermarket journeys haven’t seen another soul for 4+ weeks now. |

How are you finding the solitude, Devon? I couldn't imagine being on my own for so long. We're at home together with our 3yo daughter and 17yo son. Son is OK but obviously missing his girlfriend and mates, so he's had ups and downs, but overall he's been great. We're trying to work FT with the 3yo under our feet but managing thus far. We have each other, for which I am very grateful. |

I’m okay thank you. And you? I miss freedom and obviously living near the sea and not being allowed to go for a swim is a little rubbish, especially with lovely weather.
Trying to keep a routine which I find helps. |

"I’ve been lucky my Mr has been staying since lockdown- my 4 kiddos have been back and forth between myself and their dad. Really missing friends and my nephew now!"
My ex won't have them because his "partner" is in the high risk group..
Yeah I'm missing friends and even just the school runs. |

Just sending hugs. Sounds incredibly tough.. and yet you are still going and all is there to remember is that this is just temporary.. and they will soon get the support they need and so will you. X |

As I say. I’m okay. I lived and worked overseas on my own for 15 years in some very challenging environments so being under curfew isn’t a great hardship. I miss having friends over for a meal/drink but routine helps. |

I feel this my son has regressed so much in this short space of time & his attachment issues are so high it’s hard to even have a shower alone now.
It’s great being with him but your so right, going to the park, shops visit family seeing friends, these simple things help us get through usually. Xx |

My mum, my two children (10 and 8) the youngest has ASD and he’s loving being home if i’m honest, and my pooch - who is also loving us all being home.
My mum is still working (in care industry) so three out of five days she is out of the house a bit.
I’m just grateful we have a garden and that the weather has been good.

Just myself and my 19 year old at home, he has ADHD and Aspergers along with other mental and learning difficulties. He has been OK but he is struggling as you say it's the routine. He is so use to his 3 days at college and 3 days of going to his mma gym. He has set up a little workout area in the communal garden and only goes out there when no one else is there, he is also going out running every few days. Most of the time he is locked away in his bedroom on xbox. I'm am just keeping an eye on him and will use MST to manage any triggers or behaviour changes.
But mostly feel like I am at home alone as he just likes to keep to himself.
Hope you manage to find a temporary routine fix xx |

In lockdown with my wife, which is OK as we’ve been retired for 7 years, so spend lots of time together anyway. That said, what we miss is contact with grandchildren as we have helped out a lot and have them stay over quite often. At such young ages, they can’t understand why they can’t come and visit. We’ve even offered to swap,houses with one of our children, so his kids can have more space and a large garden to run around in, but they aren’t keen. FaceTime with them isn’t the same as real contact.
As for sex, well that’s another matter entirely. But not in a good way. |

My sons are 11 and 8 so they're still lacking the school routine..
But yes they're always staring at a screen if I don't entertain them which is exhausting because they dont play like other kids.. |

We are doing ok at the moment but with an extra 3 weeks added on, which we all were prepared for, I think boredom might kick in. Mine are 19, 16 & 14. They are sleeping a lot but just really want to see their friends especially my daughter (youngest one).
I'm so glad they don't need too much help with school work and just get on with it most times. We told them they need a daily routine which included a bit of school work, exercise and going out once a day for a walk or bike ride. We are lucky that we have a big garden.
Keep telling yourself it's temporary! Hugs to all  |

That is tough OP. Kids need routine, esp with special needs
I am here with my 10 and 11 yr old kids. They cant go to their dad as I had breast cancer in 2017 and therefore high risk. Their dad isnt happy with me AT ALL over it and completely fails to see the big picture or support me.
MrD came over to me a few days ago as he had been self isolating and hasnt even seen his own kids in over a month now. Good to have his company and bedroom shenanigans

Ahh, bless you.
I dont have kids but have mates in a similar position. So totally understand.
Having a routine for yourself and the children is very helpful.
Take care and be strong. We should be out of this soonish...

Just me and my 7 year old daughter. It’s getting harder by the hour to be honest. We went into lockdown 2 weeks before everyone else as I had symptoms. Today is a hard day as it’s raining here so can’t even get out. Sending you lots of hugs OP I’ve worked with learning disabilities for 12 years so know it is an extra hard time for you xx |

Oh my word, that sounds tough. A friend of ours runs a special needs for adults service and he was telling us how changing routines and being denied things previously available is causing great upset. No wonder you miss work.
We are at home together, “shielding”, so no trips out anywhere at all. It’s way weird. |

"I'm the only human at home, but I have the 6 cats to keep me from sanity
They are Umaam and Nkosi, Chaka, Babiaan, Taita and Dave. They're all behaving themselves (as much as cats do) but Dave keeps getting into fights with the local wildlife - she took on a raccoon the other week and I had to stitch her up and make her wear a lampshade. She's recovering well, but keen to get out again.
You had to stitch her up?? "
Yes, it was quite a big wound but cats heal amazingly fast. |

"So since this lockdown..I've been home with my 2 sons who have special needs. I haven't seen another adult and I'm slightly going mad.. this is bloody hard work.
I'd prefer being at work to be honest.. normally it's fine.. I can socialise, meet people, take them out etc.. but this is just arghhhh..
They're both regressing as they're out of routine and if I'm on here alot it's just because I want someone to talk to at the moment..
Anyway anyone else struggling or are you all lucky to have support? X"
My daughter is in a similar position. She recently separated from her partner and is stuck at home with two young children, the eldest 4, has special needs.
Her ex was helping but is in the vulnerable group and is in isolation alone.
I keep in touch with skype and my other son in law does her shopping and leaves it outside.
It's just been me and my partner. We haven't wanted to kill each other yet but I miss seeing friends and family and the routine of work. I'm getting 100% of my salary so I'm sure I can survive this temporary restriction. |

I'm in lockdown with my partner, my 2 step sons, 29 and 18 both with ASD and our crazy dog. Janine is a key worker so still working 3 nights a week. I am working from home. It's not been too bad overall |

I live with my demonic, unstable and totally irrational friend. It’s utter hell! Every waking hour we bitch and fight over the state of the lockdown, the government, mainstream media, social media and the economy. More recently we are tearing each other to pieces with the credibility of being isolated at all and I truly fear the darkest thoughts will take over and lead to us seriously harming each other, if not worse ....... |

My youngest and her husband had the virus, but being in their 20s it wasn't severe. They live 10 minutes away and not being able to see them has been hard.
I took family and friends for granted before this. Not being able to see those closest to you has been really hard going. |
