    Hi Kay, welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with your daughter. It sounds like you're doing everything you can to support her-and that'sfabulous-she needs you more than ever when she's struggling. Dealing with a child who has autism and is awaiting an ADHD assessment can be incredibly tough-I struggled when I was at school-it was tough for me and my mum then. 

    When it comes to handling her misbehaviour at school-it might be helpful to work closely with her teachers and school counselors to develop a behaviour plan targeted to her needs-this was the help given to me and it made a huge difference! Consistency is key-so ensuring that everyone involved in her care is on the same page can make a big difference-as well as the strategies you've already tried-you might want to consider seeking support from professionals who specialise in working with children with autism and ADHD. They can provide you with additional tools and techniques to help manage her behaviour more effectively. 

    Above all, remember to be patient with both yourself and your daughter. It's a challenging journey, but with the right support and resources, you can find strategies that work for her and you.

    It was a long road-but with the right support-things became a whole lot easier for me-and I'm sure they will for you and your daughter-I really hope you can both find the support you need.

    Thank you . 
    The teachers put her on a behaviour plan, offered lots but still not working.  
    It’s now causing problems at home because of discussion about school causes meltdowns . 
    I just don’t know what to do for the best . 
    we talk it through and she does the same. If I take her electronics it can lead to aggression. Should I get involved when it’s things in school 

    or should I just be her safe place. 
    I feel with me getting involved I’m losing our bond if that makes sence. 
    I just want her to be happy but except the help the school are offering . 
    Thank you
