My 12 year old started her periods a few months ago. She has autism but at mainstream with support.
Since school holidays started she expects me to change her towels and to tell her when a change of towels is needed. If she has an accident she tells me it is my fault for not reminding her or taking her to the loo.
Before school broke up she was managing fine to change towels etc without help.
Aibu expecting her to change herself with perhaps the odd reminder during the day? She tells me I am a crap mother because I am not reminding her enough or changing her. I have explained that she is 12 not 2 and needs to think about this herself with the occasional reminder from me.
I appreciate she doesnt like the sensation of losing the blood as it affects the ASD issues.
