Still learning with her ASC and triggers?

My daughter 13 was diagnosed with ASC last year. She recognises certain triggers which she couldn’t manage before. She is currently triggered by what’s going on in Ukraine and war. I tried to talk about it and explained that it’s not like the situation the uk had with hitler. As soon as I mentioned the word Hitler. She screamed that was a trigger for her. She cried, clenched her teeth and had to leave her room. We then sat in silence downstairs as anything we then mention ( even talking about our lovely dog) would then ruin and spoil it for her as she’d associate it with that. Does anyone know why this is or what it could be?
thanks

Hi There - sorry you are going through a tough time. Here are some links that you might find useful when it comes to behaviour triggers for those on the spectrum:

Individuals on the spectrum can often display behaviour that may be challenging. There will generally be a reason for this and it is important to try and understand the trigger for the behaviour when developing strategies. You may like to have a look at the following link for more information on behaviour and strategies: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour

You may be interested in seeking some professional support regarding the behaviour. You can search for professionals in your area we are aware of on the Autism Services Directory: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory

You might also like to take a look at The Challenging Behaviour Foundation website for further information and advice: https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk. They also have an information and support service which you can contact by phone or email – details can be found here: https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk/for-family-carers/family-support-service/

Hope that is useful,
