DD (6) anxiety, some sensory struggles, possible high functioning autism (maybe Asperger like traits) - is sooo impatient and lacks manners. She used to have beautiful manners but they disappeared a few years ago and it's sometimes as if she is v v avoidant of saying please/thank you, like its painful for her! I think this can be part of
Selective Mutism though. However, at school she holds it in, appears patient and demonstrates her manners.
Also, she can often sound as if when she speaks, it's quite "put on" or false if you see what I mean. Particularly when she is trying to talk nicely and more grown up.
She will also slip into baby talk which used to be for hours but we may have a couple of days now.
She can have a very stroppy, teenage like tone and is v v demanding. I imagine part of this is because she has no siblings, but it can't just be that surely.
Also, it's the basics, like getting dressed, brushing hair and brushing teeth is a huge hurdle for her every day, just the mere suggestion just now of brushing her teeth, even saying she can do it while she's in the garden, wound her up massively!
She would live in the same old dirty pyjamas if she could, never wash, do her hair or brush her teeth.
Anyone else find this? Are these slight ASD/Aspergers traits.
