Imagine this: It’s your day off. You’re a mom of four, two of whom are on the autism spectrum and require constant care. You start your day with some self-care, something you haven’t done in years. You come home to a house that needs cleaning, laundry that needs doing, and children that need feeding. You roll up your sleeves and get to work. But then, your partner comes home and is upset… because dinner wasn’t ready.
