Hi, my 5 year old daughter has always shown signs that both me and my husband haven't thought of as "normal behaviour" we have blamed everything from the area we live, the friends she has, our own parenting skills. Everything. But I think we have finally noticed something Is different in her since she has been in her second year at school.
She finds it hard to hold down friendships. She isn't that shy but cannot maintain relationship ships with people.
She struggles to control her emotions, she is either completely over excited and can't bring herself back down or at the flick of a finger she is completely devestated and hysterical.
She doesn't seem to process what we say to her, we have tried so many different ways to communicate with her but it's like she isn't there at times, especially if she is being told off. Some people say every child does this but she is different. She completely shuts down.
She likes to have a plan for everything she does, she always needs to know exactly what will happen next and if it doesn't go that way she gets upset.
She can be so angry at times but for no apparent reason.
Has anybody else had these sorts of behaviours and how have you del with it?
Should I seek support from the GP or does this not sound like asd?
