hello all, i just want to ask a few opinions on my suspected asd 6 year old.
I have come to agree that she has tv/white noise on of a night time to help her to settle to sleep and that is working brilliantly so far, but my question is about the day time.
i have tried putting on music low for her whilst she goes about her day to day in the house, but that has not worked, and she seems to favour the tv on low, she will choose what she wants on, then leaves it on and just walks about doing what she is doing (playing, eating well, sitting and all calm behaviours)
If i turn it off her behaviours change to a more negative, as though she is just lost and not having a clue about what she is doing.
My family are very negative about her behaviours, even to the point that they dont believe there is anything going on, so i just get accused of being lazy and her sitting in front of the tv all day and night, which is not the case as she is clearly not sitting and watching it, but it is the background.
could anyone having the same experience give me a bit of advice please? is this ok to do? is it a learned behaviour that she is just used to and now doesnt like the quiet that i would need to try and change bit by bit?
