My daughter just got diagnosed with autistic traits and conduct disorder

Kittylove

Hi all I'm new here I've been fighting with my daughters school since she was 5 to admit there's something wrong she is now 8 and we finally got to see a community paed yesterday where he diagnosed her with autistic traits and conduct disorder I was so shocked as I thought it was maybe ADHD not autism and I have no idea what conduct disorder is ??? I felt rather over wealmed by it all so completely forgot to ask any questions and now have hundreds floating around my head I'm really struggling with her behaviour all ready and the doctor said that it will get worse (that was enough to scare me) he wants to see her back in 3-6 months for some more assessments but other than that I don't know what to do what happens from here the school can't cope with her so as a result she only does one hour a day people don't want me to visit when I've got her because she is such a handful and she in their words "does they're head in" I just feel completely lost and really don't know where to go from here any suggestions ??

  • the school finally agreed to put in a request for a amatory assessment a couple if weeks ago I use a visual schedule at home as I recognised that if she knew exactly what was happening then she would be a lot better behaved she doesn't cope with change at all and when things do change it's a certain for a melt down she can't stand lots of people and will act up when she is in a busy place she will just flip out and then start trashing stuff and screaming at the too if her lungs and if you try to talk to her she will just put her fingers in her ears and scream louder she throws herself around and if you try to hold on to her to stop her from hurting herself she starts screaming that I'm hurting her the only thing I have found that affected her behaviour in a good way was when we got our 2 year old German shepherd dcouples months ago he seems to have a very calming affect on her the educational phycologist said that she is highly vigilant to noise sorry I know I may sound like I'm rambling on a bit but when ever I try to talk to family and friends they just tell me I need to send her to her room till she behaves and when I speak to the school they tell me other there must be more to it something must of triggered her behaviour off but I honestly haven't managed to find any triggers other than a change to her routine or being around lots of people
