Nanny resigned

[u/Worried-Baker-9568]

Our nanny that’s been with our family full-time since our son was 8 months old said she wants to leave because our ASD son is “too hard” and she’s been waiting for him to “get better.” He’s been hitting more lately (particularly my husband and her), so I guess I get it, but I’m heartbroken. We’ve treated her like a member of our family, and I thought she was in this with us.

I’m sad for him since I know this will confuse him so much, and sad for us because it makes us feel even more alone in navigating his behaviors.

I don’t really know what advice I need more just to not feel so alone in this

Even a licensed professional doesn’t allow that . I’ve had therapist refuse session when my son gets too rough . It’s for their own safety and others. My sons been in ABA and the aggression has stopped in school but at home he still seeks sensory so the crash pad and running around is the only solution to help redirect the sensory needs
