how can a fantastic little 6yo cause such chaos..

[meglet]

dd (denial of asd by paed) blew yesterday before school, continued after school and all the way to 10pm. again around midnight. and woke up still in full on tantrum mode his morning.

the house is a mess where she's thrown stuff everywhere. I'm shaken by trying to keep her calm and prevent major damage to her, her brother and the house. I've not eaten or slept properly, and I'm just going into work. .

she's so good at school. I'm always going to get the full force of it.

the shaken pop bottle. they really shook her up yesterday, what went on? you took the lid off when she got home and could relax and all hell broke loose. have you spoken to school to find out what happened yesterday? (could be really random. ds got upset that he was 1hundred and something teen tall... the others were over 120 cm. )

when did you see the paed? can you go back to the gp and ask for a referral to someone who specialises in asd presentation in girls?

ps see you on the lone parents housekeeping thread... jinxed it by posting it was tidier... (also suffering from a rampaging boy)

polt I've muddled through work, had a meeting I couldn't really miss, although that made the morning whizz by. it'll be 4pm before I know it now. Don't work on Fridays which helps.

black I saw the paed a year ago. even though I went with a list of behaviours and incident that I thought I'd be accused of printing them straight off the Web, and my mum to back me up, it was all dismissed as poor parenting. obviously dd was able to behave nicely for the couple of hours we were there, if she can manage 6 hrs at school then 2hrs in a hospital is a doddle. afterwards mum then took the paeds side saying it was because I have Asd and I'm not able to parent properly, although I think I'm usually able to suss out when there'll be a problem because I know so much about it, I don't know . so I really don't want to raise it again in the near future, too much risk of being dragged through ss hell.
