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 ??

  • thanks very much for your advice she is in main stream school atm but the doctor did say as she is barely coping with an hour a day there that this may not be thaw best placement for her I tend to stay away from visiting other people nowadays as its getting harder and harder to take her out any where any way I guess I'm just not thinking about it the right way I don't really know anything about autism a lot of reasing and talking to other parents is needed I think didn't thanks again from what I have read this is going to be a long road so you will probably end up hearing from me again at some point lol
