Hi, my dd10 has found great help in a computer program (Ipad/samsung tablet etc) called Smiling Mind. You can access the app from the website (hopefully) linked below. It is 5-10 minute meditation doses aimed at children and is lovely and relaxing. My girl turned her nose up at first but has very qu...

Welcome! I too have a DD10 on the spectrum (who is also being treated for sever anxiety), however we do not home school. We had to look around for 'the right school' though, and the first one was a disaster! She is in a good school now and is (mostly) happy to go so I get that break and the chance t...

I think the comment I find most hurtful is when DD10 is anxious/overstimulated and working to control herself (she will stim with noises, rocking hitting herself etc depending on severity) and I have had to explain to people witnessing this that she is AS..... "Oh, but she looks so.... normal." :hmp...

Is it just Mondays? Perhaps ask his teacher for a list of the days activities on a Monday and show it to your lad... guage his reaction to each task on the list, maybe there is a class or something that is on the Mondays that he cant cope with right now, or simply cant cope with on a transition day ...

Roadee, how old was she when you told her? She was 9. She had started a hormone induced mania and extreme anxiety bout and would breakdown because she couldnt control herself. Interestingly, it was during a miserable breakdown when she was sobbing about not understanding that I told her. She calmed...

I havent seen in any other posts so I thought I should add hormones into the mix.... He seems to have gone from managing this system ok to not at all... perhaps his system has taken a round of hormones and it is pushing him off course. Others have said they had this around 12 also but a couple of ye...

Mikassyna - your commentary is so very telling. It is like reading a scenario with dd10! You have opened my eyes and helped me understand more about my very special girl and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you. My dd10 knows we believe she is HFA. I told her in a very matter of fact way, alo...

I can't even get my girl to keep her clothes on! At 10 she nearly always remembers not to strip when out, but at home, well, down to the knickers she goes. I have told her she must keep her panties on as people can come to the door etc and she forgets she is starkers and goes to open the door! Scare...
