Puberty

Mhairi

Hi

My 10 year old with HFA and ADHD has been going through a difficult and very, very draining spell of behaviour which it a couple of folk have said may be the beginnings of the puberty hormone changes!  I brushed this off and just put it down to the very difficult time at school early in the year, general lack of support and inclusive attitude and sensory overload resulting in very challenging behaviour early in the year to a consistent stream of very oppositional behaviour.

I have heard it suggested that people with Aspergers are more likely to go through some element of puberty early?  Does anyone know if this is true?

Any thoughts welcome

  • I have a 10 yr old lad...I was thinking a few months back he was starting puberty! Temper tantrums like you wouldnt believe, MAJOR growth spurt, he went up 3 sizes in as many months, hes already a big stocky lad! His body has started changing shape etc

    He is very unsettled at school and seems more distant than usual. He has always had oppositional behaviours. Hes a tough cookie my boy. He too has ADHD, Dyspraxia and being assessed for Autism.

    I spoke to his consultant about it and she said that she wouldnt be suprised if he was starting to hit puberty, although it shouldnt really hit fully for a few year. 

    I hope you find the cause for peace of mind hun, Take care
