Daughter gets very stressed over choosing what to do

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

    Thank you for your reply. I have tried a choosing type board with our daughter before and she just was not bothered by it. It never got used and like all the visuals I tried using for her, she just got stressed. I have not however tried leaving her to choose without my help. I just hate seeing her so stressed over what she could be doing and if I left her to her own devices, she would just watch tv all day. Its so hard to get it right xx
