My dd 8 is currently undergoing tests for ASD. She has been having horrendous meltdowns the last couple of days and I just don't know how to cope. To see my gorgeous girl so full of hate and anger and telling me to F off is so awful. What do I do ? How can I sit back and let her swear at me like this ? She chucks cushions and toys at me, hits me etc I just feel at the end of my tether. She is always full of apologies afterwards, I feel like a battered wife !! Any help/suggestions??
