I say in anger, until today she seemed to do it just for the joy of the reaction (we agreed last night to trial no reaction/ignoring) but today she did it, for the first time, mid meltdown in town, all over her father when he wouldn’t walk in the direction she wanted to go in.
Am a bit at my wit’s end. Her behaviour has been all over the place in the last couple of weeks, I’m sure she’s having a neuroinflammatory episode of some kind (feels almost like a “flare” of her autism). Trying desperately to think of what might be triggering it. She’s being constantly violent with her baby brother when before it was a very half-hearted occasional thing, is hugely more volatile mood wise, struggling more with sharing things with other children down the park. She’s verbal but at a fairly primary level, no reciprocal speech to speak of so can’t really ask her what’s wrong. I’m going round the twist but also feel so sorry for her, and so guilty that I can’t work out what to do.
She potty trained herself a couple of years ago and has pretty much never had a single accident so this is very new territory for us. Does anyone have any recommendations? I feel like I’m letting her down.
