My dd is 4 and is starting school in September. Although I've been incredibly anxious about her starting, her reception teacher/ta and the pre-school she currently attends have been fantastic. Also what really puts my mind at rest is the school currently have a child on a 1:1 (who will be in her class) and the lady who helps him has a ds with ASD, as well as working with children in ASD.
Her taster sessions at school have gone really well and yesterday she ran in happily.
My number one issue with her, is her relationship with me. With everyone else she is much more positive and strategies they put in place for her really work. My dh does so much more with her than I do and doesn't get the behaviours that I experience with her.
She is developmentally delayed in all areas, but is making progress. And although her behaviour is worse with me, it isn't quite as bad.
With me, if she wants to go home from somewhere, she repeats words over and over again, quite distressed and it takes quite a while to calm her down. She's loud with it too. It's really frustrating because she just doesn't do it with anyone else.
She's going to a small party this weekend and I know she'll go on and on. Yet with my dh, she wouldn't. Part of me feels tempted to not going, but on the other hand she's missing out.
If I have people round she's the same and it puts me on edge.
So any tips would be great. So far, I've tried ignoring, getting cross, talking to her calmly, trying to distract. But nothing really seems to work!
