My daughter is 14 and has high functioning ASD. I feel quite deflated at the moment as she often puts me down and says quite mean things to me and if I challenge her on it she says that I am being
horrible to her and gets upset. She told me that our personality’s are to different and that I have a bad attitude and that she doesn’t like me. I literally tiptoe around her and will do anything to make her happy. I show her so much love and attention but I’m worried that she will always feel this way regardless . Has anyone else experienced this?
Someone posted a link to a NAS course about ASD in girls and woman a few days ago:

Maybe have a look? It's a little bit of a pain to get to the actual course but once you are there it's really quite good. It doesn't address your problem as such, but mentions and explains many things that you may find could be leading to it. Takes about three hours, so not a massive time investment.
I kept thinking I should perhaps stop doubting that diagnosis and thank the people I got if from for getting it right...
