Daughter gets very stressed over choosing what to do

jrandall10

Hello 

Our daughter is six, she has mild asd but her spd is more servers. Most evenings after dinner and in the day if we are home she really struggles with what to do. Visuals don't work with her and it makes her very stressed. We are trying our hardest to go with her flow and let her choose but sometimes this leads to stress. If we suggest anything it makes her more upset. We have changed lots of things to help her but we are at a loss when it comes to this. Has any one got any tips or ideas xxx

  • I'm not sure if this is relavent, but a friend has difficulties chosing confectionary in shops. This causes me problems as I hate to be out in an urban enviroment and he can take up to an hour to make his selection. As a result we have discussed the issue and he says he has difficulty choosing because there is too much to choose from and he considers it necessary to get the choice exactly right as he can only have a limited amount.

    Perhaps you could subtley reduce an overwhelming number of options, reassure her of the validity of her choices, and remind her that in the vast majority of cases she will have oppertunity to make another choice another time.

    Hope something helps
