Hi there, my 4.5yo DD has been referred to the paediatric development team. She may be autistic, she may have some other needs, we'll find out in due course then find out if there's any more we can do to be helping her.
In the meantime I'm after advice from parents who have been/are living with something similar as to the best anger/frustration release "stress toys". Something that when she can't use her words or can't figure out her feelings or is just generally frustrated and cross and needing to get the anger out of her, she can channel it into this, rather than hurting herself or us. I'm thinking a toy that's designed to be torn apart or broken. Or something to hit or kick or bang or squeeze. I've done a bit of googling and the results that come up require engagement and conscious awareness (almost preventative rather than responsive) and I need something that I can give her and she can let rip at.
Thank you 🤗
