Common Occurrence Triggers

MattH13

Good evening.

My daughter is 4 and is diagnosed with ASD.

One of her main triggers for meltdowns is seeing Pushchairs or prams. She can become very frustrated and throw herself to the floor.

We try to keep her calm and have tried to de-sensitise her by showing photos and videos of pushchairs but no luck so far.

Has anyone had to deal with something similar? We would be willing to go privately if anyone had a contact.

Thank you

Parents

  • I’m not sure if there is anything I can help with, but I’m curious if there is anything in particular that triggers your daughter about strollers? Is it that people push them, or the fact that she can/cannot ride in one? Maybe if you identify why, then perhaps a solution could be determined from that?
