Hi my daughter has started struggling more at high school we suspect that she has a few autistic traits but not sure if it could also be normal teenage defiance when she was in nursery and younger school she used to just ignore people when out and even members of extended members of family she would just look away and close up over the years she gradually opened up to people a bit more and over the years a few things she did we just thought was her personality now shes older im thinking it may not be she is obsessive over certain things such as things she is wearing and using have to be the same and a certain type, she will warm a lot towards a few people she likes such as a particular uncle and teacher at school, she always says im shouting at her when im not she cant seem to define when people are talking sternly and shouting also she doesnt understand things when you say them sometimes simple things i have to explain over and over. She has irlens syndrome and is slightly dyslexic at school she is getting in trouble for speaking back with poor attitude (she doesnt think she is and doesnt understand) and she just walks away from teachers as she cant look at them (again she denies this and just says she went to lesson etc) has anyone had to deal with anything like this befoe? Thanks
