What are your experiences of trying to meet your children’s needs?

I struggle to meet my daughter's needs mainly as I have to work so many hours to provide a decent level of living for us both.

She only has Autism and doesn't like it when things change or I can't provide what she wants instantly. She spends alot of time on her own has she is getting older now and doesn't want to be seen out with her mum as it is no longer 'cool'.

I struggle with guilt every day but not having the income would be devastating to our life circumstances so I have to choose which situation is the best solution at the time.
