Hello,
I'm new to Mumsnet & this is my first post, I'll try not to write an essay! My DD has always been quite a spirited child, for me the terrible twos were really quite terrible & three wasn't much better, she can be very strong willed & have endured many a meltdown over the silliest of things! Things did improve & she seemed easier going, the tantrums became less frequent. However over the last couple of months, she seems to have regressed & is being very difficult again for me, this seems to have coincided with me going back to work after being on mat leave with DS. DD has always been a pretty confident & settled child with nursery etc. however over the last couple of weeks she has been upset about going to preschool & been reluctant to go which I assume is linked to me being back at work. She is very emotional about everything, DD is a very bright child & knows probably too much for her age, she has been asking me about death quite a lot recently. This could be a phase which I'm hoping to ride out, I keep talking to her & trying to reassure her about me working & the days/times I will be at home, I work 3 days.
Whilst this has been going on I've started to wonder if there is some sort of behavioural/developmental problem. Someone did mention Aspergers which I did google & there are a few things that ring true - advanced communication, tantrums & social interaction. DD is a pretty social child but I have noticed in group situations she will usually be the one on her own, happy to just play by herself & sometimes seems more interested in adults.
Sorry for the lengthy post but just wanted to have a bit of a brain dump as this is on my mind a lot right now!
Any thoughts/advice welcome! x
