Hello, I am an autistic parent with adhd myself and I have an almost 3 year old and a month old baby. I've always struggled with loud environments and sometimes it happens that my toddler or newborn trigger overstimulation due to the noise level or my toddler pulling at me etc. I love being a mom and I love them with my whole heart.

How do you deal with this type of overstimulation?

Did you find ways to maybe even prevent it?

When did it get better in terms of a young child accepting your boundaries? If I tell my toddler to stop pulling my clothes for example they usually will have a "tantrum"

I've been sick with the stomach flu for five days now and it makes me hate nursing. I am freshly 4 weeks postpartum with my second. I am so exhausted and lost weight, i am cold and everything sucks. I feel like there is nothing left to give at this point but i will continue to breastfeed obviously
