    hi Orlando , i'm new here too. my 13 yr old daughter is awaiting confirmation of ASD diagnosis after approx 15 months of investigation/assessment etc. She doesn't experience anger partcularly, more severe anxiety and meltdowns - especially around attending school. She is strugglng with school this week and it's hit and miss re whether she feels she can go, if she goes I am often called to collect her due to her distress. It's heartbreaking  to see her like this about school but there's no alternative, is this familiar to you?
