My youngset child has special needs, she is autistic. What do I do if my other child does not have special need?
How can I keep my attention and energy balance with the two of them? I can't take them both to the same places because they are 7 years apart.

Maybe you can try to give your oldest some special time even if it is just at home. Play a video game with him or a board game with just him if you can. you would be amazed at how much something like that would mean to him. Do the same for your daughter as well find something that she really loves to do and share special one on one time just you and her.

I love to do this even only my (soon to be ex husband) j/k. Get away from the TV and offer to help watch my girl for a few hours while I do some bonding time with my son.
My daughter is just happy if she gets to sit with me on the couch. She really is a Mommy's girl.

Lol @ soon to be ex. He should offert o help with the kids and help watch one so that you can spend some time with the other. I bet he(your son) does feel left out and needs that special attention. I hope that you can find a way to make that happen. Put a boot in that mans hinny lol and get him off that couch.
