    Hi there,

    I have  a 10yr old daughter with type 1 diabetes and she is on the spectrum.....we are awaiting an official diagnosis, which we are to get in August. My daughter is extremely challenging....but she is a real Jekyll and Hyde character.....quiet at school....but soooo angry at home with constant meltdowns. I think she is going through the start of puberty and this is making everything worse. Academically she is bright, but every day is a struggle.......most days we have to hold her down to dress her for school....which is not good, but once at school nooo meltdowns. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
