Hello,
This is concerning my daughter. Has anyone experienced blankness in response to a request that you cannot do? Staring and freezing with no verbal response when faced with a task or situation? This has occurred when the dentist was a different or when faced with work she struggles with. It happens at home too, but because home is her safe space, it comes out as frustration and she gets annoyed and is verbally expressive with noises but few words.
On her ADOS she stared wide eyed into space with no other communication when asked to do some tasks. This was mentioned to us but we don't have the outcome of the assessment yet.
Could these be shutdowns or meltdowns or something else?
Thanks for any insight.
