Difficult behaviour difficult to prove but have no caught it

Penski

I have had trouble getting my daughter diagnosed because while out she is quiet, listens and enjoys being a voyeur in life but at home, behind closed doors, she is quite different. We have had an OT assessment and Camhs Social Worker has informally diagnosed Asperger's Syndrome with Sensory Integration Disorder.

The only way I have been able to get help recently is to take videos of her typical behaviour. MyDaugherVideos the videos taken are all within 4 days of each other and not all videos have been uploaded, so you can see that we spend almost every day in conflict or noise.

Any advice or opinion would be very much appreciated.

  • Of course I do.  We have an open talking policy in our house; nothing is not discussed.  However, it doesn't stop the arguments, shouting and being awkard.

    This type of behaviour has gone on since she was at least 2 years old but now becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.  We walk on eggshells despite talking, screaming, punishing, pleading and negotiating - she is spiteful, obnoxious, abusive and our lives are filled with constant arguing.  We feel powerless.
     
    Once she eventually calms down she replaces anger with sadness and self hatred.  She says 'I'm stupid', 'I hate myself'', 'I wish I was dead', 'what's wrong with me?' - and the cycle starts all over again.
     
    We love her so much - she's my first born and my children are all I have family wise - they mean the world to me.
