Hello, wondering if anyone can help!
DD (3.7) is being assessed for ASD/social communication issues. She is very stubborn and we have lots of trouble with things that are not on her terms/initiated by her. Until very recently, the most effective way to help her make choices or actually follow commands was to present 2 things "X or Y" as she ignored any open ended questions and has trouble with expressing "yes" (oddly enough, no problems with "no"). Her nursery are really good and have also started doing this and trying a "now and next" board to help her transition between activities. However, in the last few weeks she has seemingly descended into indescisiveness and carrying out anything has been met with more resistance than usual and she will fight and fight and cry out choices. If she starts one thing, within seconds she wants the other and will then either be rooted to the spot unable to do anything or physically lash out, which she never did before.
Her speech is still delayed in areas so I suspect there may be a gap in communication of what she wants to express but am a bit lost of knowing what to do.
She might also well be just be being a fusspot of a 3yo and I am reading too much into things but either way, something is not working ideally...
