Pre teen Aspie, mood swings

[Endler32]

Anyone else have pre teen Aspie girl (or boy) that has huge mood swings?

Dd changes from nice, kind girl to blubbering and shouty child in a short space .

She spends a lot of time on her laptop, writing stories or playing pokemon, as soon as I ask her to do anything ( take the plates out, tidy up the table ) she goes off on one, she cries, tells me I'm mean, tells me I'm annoying and tells me I don't love her, this can go on for half an hour or so and she often takes herself off to her room and I don't see her for the rest of the day.

This morning I asked her to tidy up as I needed to start making her costume for book day after I dropped her off at school, she totally lost it, crying and moaning.

She hates going anywhere, would stay indoors in her onesie all weekend if I let her. She's only 11 and I am already dreading the teen years, please tell me it gets better?

Apparently I never let my 11yo do anything. It's his right to constantly snipe at his younger brother. And how dare we sit on a chair with our feet on the floor beneath us when it's the only space in the whole wide world that he has to make a road for his matchbox cars...

What you are describing is eerily like my dd - and the main sn she has is hypermobility.

I get the impression that some ASD kids do this a bit earlier than nt kids. dd is beginning to emerge out of the fog at 16, so maybe it will be over sooner?

I was lucky that someone told me that the job of a mother-of-a-teenager is to be wrong. Always. To an extent you can get your way by asking for the opposite, but mostly I was on to a loser asking for anything.

They always needed money or transport, so that was where the trades cam in.

Oh and ds had a sports coach who he totally respected, so if I needed ds to eat more veg, I told the coach and the coach told ds. ds even gave up sugar for the whole of the summer holidays because I told the coach I thought he was eating too much of it.

Good Luck

Oh' I do hope this means it will end sooner.

She has hypermobility and hypotonia too, this morning she said she ached all over ( but she seemed fine on the way to school ).

This morning I got told off for singing, told I was annoying and I had no right to sing near her , she bosses her sister around, luckily her sister ( also on the spectrum ) just ignores her most of the spit me though this causes dd1 to get really narky.

She keeps moaning about school, it's boring, no one plays with her, the works too easy, blah....blah...blah...

I'm hoping she will improve when she starts high school but I guess her attitude could get worse.

Ah, school is still a major source of complaint at 16....

It is a surface thing - they still love you deeply underneath it all.

I went to put plasters on dd2's feet this morning ( she has a school trip and has to wear wellies ), dd1 started causing me of looking after dd2 more than her, apparently putting plasters on feet means I love dd2 more

'Accusing'

True , a few months ago she was moaning quite a bit about her legs and ankles hurting, she had a huge growth spurt around that time, I think she is quite close to starting her periods ( which will make things even worse ). She's come home in a better mood though she's now glued to her laptop with her headphones on.

I am so thankful we won't have periods to contend with.
