Hello My 14 year old daughter has autism, recently diagnosed although we have known for a long time. Even with this information, I can find it difficult to keep calm and patient with her. She is running out of time to complete her half term home work for school but just won't make a start. Transitions are difficult. Any tips on how to motivate her to do stuff she needs to do? If it is something that interests her, she does it no problem, but we all have to do some stuff we don't want to do, right? Appreciate any advice!
Hello your daughter is very similar to me when I was at school and now but I’m not as bad as I was if I’m not interested I can’t get into it I’m no expert but I would say keep calm with her it might seem she’s being awkward but it’s very hard for some of us autistic people to concentrate on anything unless it’s one of our interests.
