More 'autistic' days than others?!

squidgy

My 5 year old daughter has ASD, severe learning difficulties and epilepsy.

Over the past week she has been showing more and more autistic traits than normal - talking to herself, echolalia of tv programmes is constant, no empathy towards her brother, aggression, tantrums, whinging, head shaking and blinking.....

We haven't had particularly severe traits for a while now and I am wondering if other people's kids have 'more autistic' days sometimes? And if so what are the reasons behind it?

The only thing I can think it is is boredom from not being at school tbh.

 

Thx

    yes i think its likely not being at school is stressing her, my partner gets very stressed when his routines change and he doesnt react well to classess being stopped for holidays etc

    tho autism as you probably know also usually comes along with sensitivity to sound/touch etc, so maybe certain things are too loud for her or a certain material/food is a problem for her and on the days she has to deal with those she acts 'more autistic' 

    also diet has been said by a lot of people to help autism or  make some traits worse, so its possible something she has been eating drinking is affecting her, but i dont know a lot about all that side
