Thanks everyone for your response. I was definitely having a moment of depression. To be clear I pop my son. No whooping/beating/spanking. Yes, if I’ve repeatedly told him over and over to stop he eventually gets popped.
Y’all make it seem like I’m doing a terrible job. I don’t allow my son to see this side of me. I wrote this on the toilet and now he’s sleep in his room and I’m in mine.
I spend each day making sure my son is straight & he’s good. I understand he’s my responsibility and he will be good. We go on vacations, trips to different kid friendly places, he even has a membership to a trampoline park. He’s definitely going to have a great childhood.
Yes I get depressed and have regrets but as I stated I LOVE my son and wouldn’t change him for the world.. but if I could go back in time I wouldn’t have chosen his father and would’ve waited later in life. (His dad had several family members with autism and I didn’t know it could be passed down until it was too late).
I’m feeling better now. We have started therapy so hopefully we see some progress in the near future.

Autism can be caused by multiple factors. They do not test for autism on a genetic test. Autism exists on a spectrum and it is not a death sentence. There are plenty of people who have autism that function well in society.

Also, please get therapy to help you with this so don't take it out on your son.
Stop supporting your family IMMEDIATELY. STOP ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE ABUSED.Unfortunately. I am my family’s support system. Nobody cares to support me or they deny my son is autistic. I don’t feel comfortable leaving him with them since they deny it.
I echo stop supporting her family and adoption if she cannot handle it.PLEASE STOP HITTING YOUR SON. He has a disability and you are making things worse.
If you can't be a good mother, see if you can find good adoptive parents for him and give him a shot at a good life.
Yes, she needs to get every benefit available to her.Also OP, you said you make $22 an hour...you should look into applying for social security benefits for your child.
