hi

suz

Hi I don't know if I'm in the right place, my 7 year old has asperger and has become extreamly violent and she becoming stronger as she gross older, I have spoken to health professionals and have social services on my case as my daughter is violent to my young babies ( 1 and 2) they are blaming me for her behaviour and don't believe she has asperger even thou the specialist sent them a letter, She is very dangerous so have to keep eye on her 24/7 she stuck her tongue in a light socket when she was 6 because she hears voices and it told her if she done it she be able to fly :'( phycatrist has seen her 3 times due to her hearing voices and they say I need a parenting corse because my baby girl could sit and do a puzzle for 5 mins but wouldn't open up about voice just told them it goes in her ears. Anyone got any ideas how to stop her from hurting me so much as she frightens the little ones when she attacking me.. Also my 12 month old doesn't do eye contact and if she does it limited she likes slapping and screaming if someone she doesn't know walks past her or even looks at her she screams to the point I have to hold her but she hates being cuddled she rather be left alone to play by herself my health visitor said she won't be sending her for assessment as she not prepared to label her the same as her sister. Can she say that!?? Also she doesn't giggle much started to giggle at 9 months old any advice will be greatful x

  • If you ensure other parts of the house are not too noisy/busy she may be inclined to join the family more.  If you have the TV or music too loud (remember what doesn't sound too loud to other family members may do to her) or lots of visitors (whether relatives or not) coming is likely too much for her.  Even the telephone ringer may be set too loud for her.  Siblings playing noisily might be distressing.  Vacuuming, hairdryers or any noisy equipment may cause distress.  Once an autistic child can be reassured the environment is not too loud/busy they may be willing to spend more time with others, but will always need some time out alone in a quiet space at some points.
