Hi ,
I am a mother of 5 children , my youngest son is in the process of being diagnosed with adhd/autism . Our daughter is nearly 13 and since a very early age has had difficulties . She always has had temper tantrums / meltdowns , smashed things up . Although she can talk and has coped so far at mainstream school . These tantrums have continued all her life particularly if we are going somewhere or going to school . Throughout the years i have noticed that she does not understand friendships and cannot keep friends at all.We have had her at family and child specialists and educational psychologist who spoke to her for 5 mins and then told me i was not being strict enough with her . Since that particular meeting i gave up looking for an answer for her behaviour until now . After speaking to our sons speach therapist she advised us to get her asessed for asd also ..but i need some advice on this ..if there is anyone out there who has experience in this please please help me :)
