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.

  • One possible reason for her falling asleep is that she's exhausted!

    You say she is only like this at home, well, it is likely that the behaviour you see when she is outside the home takes an incredible amount of effort and energy to maintain.

    She probably feels that home is the only place where she can relax, hence she falls asleep.

    She may also feels that home is the only place where she can truly be herself, hence the difference in behaviour.

    Also, as Azalea says, the skirt may either be a way to block out the external world, or she may simply like the feel of it.
