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.

    Does you grandchild have any kind of diagnosis?

    One might assume that, because you're asking this on an Autism website, she may have a diagnosis of Autism, which firstly may not be the case, and secondly, if she also has any other conditions, such as learning difficulties, then your approach may indeed not work.

    However, if she does have a diagnosis of Autism, or even if she also has ADHD, then your approach can work, but you need to be clear, logical, and consistent.

    People on the Autistic Spectrum are not stupid (in fact we often have higher than average levels of intelligence), however, we are often confused by the illogical, and inconsistent, world that neurotypicals live in.
