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?

  • I used to have extreme tantrums when I did not get my own way: screaming, clawing my face, slamming doors, throwing things etc. I still sometimes stamp my feet and get very upset when I don't get my own way, although I have become a lot better at controlling my emotions. I can't speak for others, and not all people with Autism have tantrums, but what you are describing sounds like 'normal' spectrum behaviour to me, particularly for a teenager.
