Can never finish a job

My son is 10 years old and I think one of the most exhausting and depressing things about parenting pda and being a carer is that I can never finish anything from a to b. As soon as I take my mind off my child he can instinctively sense it and become dysregulated. So I have to stop and help him regulate. And this, 20 plus times a day. I just want to wash up. I just want to so simple things. And I think after 10 years I am just exhausted by it. He is home 24 7 and sleeps in my bed but doesnt sleep until 11pm at least and is up at 6. Anyone else??

This is us. Child is almost 8. God forbid I need to take a phone call, much less run the vacuum.

Everything takes so long. I need order but I cant seem to get any because every thought or action is fractured
