Any advice please about an 8 year old girl with asd and adhd who is frequently saying she’s dumb and stupid? And it has now advanced to saying she wants to kill herself. This is during a meltdown (normally after school) or if she makes a tiny error. We don’t tell her off because she’s so quick to blame herself. She has a ft 1:1 and an ehcp. She’s keeping her anxiety under control until she the last part of the afternoon. We’ve had a lot of issues with school when our other child with Sen attended and we ended up in court and we deal exclusively with the head now despite them being responsible for the issues my youngest faced.
The EP goes in next month and I’ve asked for a specialist teacher to see her but I’m not sure what to do. Do I go into school and bring this up? Go direct to the specialist teachers?
She’s displayed no self harm (though hit herself in the head once) but she’s so angry and frustrated and I’m really worried about her. Academically she does struggle a little but she’s making progress. Her main LSA has also noted she’s very negative about herself.
