DD 14 has suspected ASD but in true form won't engage with any professionals or school on any level.
She is highly social but very immature with in these friendships. She has a honeymoon period where all is lovely then the bossing about starts then the almighty fallout in which she wants everyone to share her anger when they don't they are also added to the drama list.
She must control every aspect of her life and her friends or she gets so irate she is isolated by staff. If a supply teachers in she refuses to engage and disrupts in a major way till again removed from the room. She has to sit by a wall near the door if not she refuses to sit and is eventually yet again removed from
class.
She rarely engages with anything and can appear very selfish and lazy when in fact she is a very sensitive paranoid soul that feels everything is out to destroy her. If people laugh she assumes it's at her she has a permanent pouty expression which does draw attention but then she gets irate when people look at her.
Her temper is unreal 0-100 the second she is challenged or re directed. Highly disorganised and awful time keeping.
This all sounds very negative I know she can be delightful at home but very very rarely at school. Her choice of friends is a bit worrying also she is quite drawn into volatile relationships and finds others "boring". When delightful she is bubbly and excitable and a joy to be around its just seems one minor thing can knock all that in a second.
Any advice/ ideas? I have tried everything to support her to engage but she is very stubborn and won't.
I am very worried for her future at school and socially the holidays have been 6 long weeks of drama and fallouts and phone calls from friends parents .
