What do you do/think??

Hi there

Just wanted to put this out there and want to have more insight.

How do people deal with hurtful things?

Such as "I hate you" "I don't love you"

I find this really hard to hear and try so hard to not react but when it feel like it's a constantly daily issue it grinds you down. Is this more about my own self-esstem issues rather than what my daughters trying to communicate.

Also have people experienced bad reactions to certain words?

Off the top of my head she reacts badly to "come on" "hurry up" "huh" and "pardon"

Cheers 

Tracy

  • hi again - are you in the process of getting a diagnosis for autism?  If you are then there's obviously something the professionals feel needs investigating further, so please don't blame yourself (something quite common for parents to do - check out some of the posts on this site).  You are not moaning + don't have to apologise.  We've all needed a good rant at times, people on here understand that.  It can be difficult when things happen + other people are around.  I sometimes think that if a lot of other people vanished or lots of people understood autism better, then life wd be a lot easier.  Autism can be difficult to explain to people + people's attitudes vary a lot.  When you feel pressurised to react, do you think how you react makes things better or worse?   I ask because there are all sorts of ways we can react to things + if we feel pressurised it can add to the angst.  bw
