We've had an awful 24hrs, although TBH not much worse than normal. 5yo DD (first paed assessment in May) is lashing out at anything that isn't exactly how she wants it 
. She's a walking meltdown and I'm scared to ask her to do anything now. She's thrown things at me, punched me, bit me and I can't find a way to stop her.
She's going to a party this afternoon. Is there anything worse than negotiating party clothes with a DD with sensory issues. I've had to persuade her that maybe she needs something cool and not a thick top and jeans.
We did have a brief lull when she had a shower (v.sticky and grubby!) but she's flared up again. I can't concentrate, I can't tidy up, she doesn't sleep until gone 10pm so I don't even get an evening. I'm meant to be doing OU work, starting to pack for a house move, sorting out a potential surname change for the dc's and passports. I'm lucky if I can load the dishwasher . She's trashing the house and I simply can't keep up anymore.
And what will happen is that she will be fine at the party and flare up again when we're back home at tea-time.
