Do we think this is seen in ASD or is it more ADHD? What causes this - particularly faeces smearing (just around toilet and little on floor) - I wasn't cross yesterday as she wiped some on my face, it was awful and I was shocked. She doesn't do this all the time but it has occurred in the past also. Dd is 6 and returned to school on Weds.
She also walked out of the house and around it and in through back door without me knowing. Feels as though we have a toddler and have to watch her. She nearly pulled a small bedside table over on herself earlier , whilst angry, which would have hurt her. She just tipped it and all the contents fell out. I tidied earlier and now the whole house has been annihilated it feels, in a matter of hours. It's a mess. It's always so much work, even for two of us.
We are struggling at the moment. I feel we've always coped well (obviously still finding it hard) but we managed in the past. I feel as though H is losing it and is down and losing his temper. I worry about the future and things are just awful at the moment. I hate most days to be honest.
I just saw my H, who used to be so calm and laid back, completely lose it. We never used to ever behave like this at all, let alone in front of our Daughter. I'm frightened and upset.
Rant over...:-(
