Hello everyone
Our daughter is seven and in year two at school. She was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder in July 2012 and mild asd in December 2012. Since she has been diagnosed she has always held it together while at school so we sometimes get the stress releasers at home. I have been back in touch with the paediatrician and occupational therapist since but they say its stuff we should deal with and are not entitled to any professional help. I'm having days where I feel lost as what to do. We do rewards and discipline but on bad days she isn't bothered. We have tried having home as regimented as school cause others have said she is fine at school because she knows what's expected of her. I just feel like we're letting her down. I do none of her spd therapy cause I don't quite get it. Yesterday I had a day where it was just the two of us n I lost my temper with her a few times cause of her not being able to stay focused at something for long but then I am expecting to much. This week I've been thinking of home schooling her as alot of her anxieties stem from school but I just don't know cause she lives school. She doesn't make the connection when things upset her. I am so confused. Is it ok to ignore her sen needs n treat her normal or do we need to be doing stuff. Can anyone help xx
