Was wondering if I could have some advice about my daughter. She’s 7 and is doing very well at school, but I’m starting to wonder if she may have some SEN needs or possibly autism? She’s doing well at school - no concerns have been identified but we’re struggling at home a little, mainly around clothing. We let her choose her own clothes but most weekends she has meltdowns lasting up to an hour because she says none of them feel nice. She tends to wear the same 2 pairs of leggings over and over, and says that her vests / knickers etc feel funny so she will scream and cry at the idea of getting dressed / picking her clothes for the day. I’ve mentioned she is ok at school as I’ve read girls can often mask when at school and it’s at home that everything comes out, but I’m also aware a lot of this could be typical 7 year old behaviour?
she can be anxious too - we struggle to get her to do her reading or writing homework and the teacher said that she seems very worried about not getting everything perfect so thinks this is why.
