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?

  • Hi there,

    Can we all please be careful not give misleading information about what is and isn't on the autism spectrum? Hohner, neither eating disorders nor morbid preoccupations are on the spectrum; people on the spectrum may have them, but they're not essential.

    Many thanks,

    Alex R - mod

    PS: 'Autism' doesn't have a Latin equivalent; but the word 'autism' derives from the Ancient Greek word for 'self'.
