Hi advice would be great

Christine1957

Hi I have a 16 year old daughter with ADHD and autism with special needs as well

she has a habit of keeping on till she gets what she wants and if she doesn't she will put on the tears to get what she wants, also she often as tantrums when she will scream and self harm to make her nose bleed and during a tantrum will say lots of hurtful things and will scream as loud as possible so every one here's her and also if we plan a day out somewhere she try's to disrupt it and stop us from going buying starting a tantrum in the morning.

also she has a s obsession with death

is this normal behaviour with someone with autism?

  • Death morbid is on the autism spectrum, I suffer from this also when stressed.  I read as much positive stuff as I can

    The latin for Autism is "self" so tantrum may be a control of the environment thing, so personally it is to do with the words you use and amount of control you allow. Remember 17 is called the rebel year by psychologists, were a teenager takes what they have learned by there parents and peers and from there own ego, so with hormones driving the energy of the body and mind,, it may be also part of the cycle. The key is communication with her and maybe help on a professional level to find a middle ground for growth and less stress

    Good luck, remember take time out for yourself.
