HELP NEW TO THIS AND NEEDING ADVICE PLEASE

inverlass

4 year old daughter newly diagnosed,dont know, what to do or who to turn to she has just started mainstream nursery and the class has got so large she cannot cope and i am struggling to get her home after nursery and she is constantly trying to grab and smother toddlers and babies.It took the teacher ,a mum and myself that was in tears to get her to let go of a wee one today,luckily the mum was so nice but i cannot go anywhere and she lunges at babies in buggies or toddlers.Im scared and feel I have no support from anyone my husband is in denial has made no effort to learn about autism and his answer to todays upset was "tell her she wont get back to nursery if she does that again"god if it was only that easy,fool he is we have two older children and about time he realised he needs to parent our little one differently.Any IDEAS,have contacted edu physc but no reply as yet as feel she would benefit from a smaller group or specialized help but dont know where to access information X

  • Hi thank you ever so much for taking the time to get back to me,it means a lot.

    my daughter who's speech is very limited was very vocal about the fact previously that she didn't like babies and would scream and tell them or toddlers this.when I asked why,she said babies cry. But now she try's to cuddle and smother them and shouts at them to the point she is hurting them. I tried getting out dolls which she has never been interested in to show her how to be gentle but she threw them away and said she wanted to take their heads off (scary) so I put them away ,but as I said very hard avoiding babies and small children in everyday situations.she tolerates children her own age and older now though because she would tell little boys and girls she didn't like them when she started nursery.

    edu physc has been in touch about arranging an emergency meeting about her nursery but not sure whether to keep putting her and myself through going there every day until something is sorted or what.

    she keeps cuddling and kissing strangers calling them mummy and daddy even though we are there,keep telling her that she just cuddles family,as some people find it embarrassing and it makes them feel uncomfortable,this is another thing she does at nursery to the mums and dads.

    looking forward to the seminar on Monday,lets hope the husband actually listens for once.

    thank u again
