Hello. I'm new to the forum. I hope it's ok to start a new thread on this as I've looked and can't find anything on this particular question. My 11 year old daughter has had to deal with frequent visitors to the house in the last 6 months and she is getting to the stage where she is highly anxious about visitors and refusing to let anyone come in. Is this a common thing? Any advice on how to handle it? My instinct is to respect her limitations but I don't want to get to a situation where no one can visit us. She has not yet been formally diagnosed but has a working diagnosis of HFA with possible personality disorders.
hi, thank you for such a speedy and informative reply. I will certainly get that book. The issue with my daughter now is that she's not only getting upset about visitors but becoming adamant that no one can visit us ever again. She feels she has done her bit with visitors and that should be that. I will try social stories, as you suggest. She has so much anger and determination on the subject now. It's like I've pushed her past what she can stand.
