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

  • My daughter is 11 and has asd, choices can always be an issue. Sometimes we give her choices maybe not too many but still is a problem. We say you choose or its nothing and sometimes they have to live with it. The mood swings can be hit and miss, and now my daughter is asking why she has autism? We have given her loads of literature and gone through it with her but its still pops up when she is upset. We make sure we set aside time to talk about things but the answers we give are hard for her to understand. Any tips or ideas?
