Hi, my friend's daughter is a bright, intense, quite quirky character. I have been tutoring her for the last few months and the more time goes on, the more I suspect she is high functioning ASD. (lots of small things are making me think this).
I know that mum is really struggling with some of her behaviour at home. In particular she has tantrums that last for hours. From mum's description she winds herself up into a state and then can't get herself out of it.
I am not sure how to suggest to her that she might want to get her assessed, but in the meantime Mum chats to me a lot about parenting techniques, and so I was wondering, if anyone could suggest some strategies that I can give to her that might help? I am obviously not trying to diagnose her daughter, but rather find alternative approaches that would help her to manage her dds behaviour.
Thanks
