More 'autistic' days than others?!

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

  • Thanks Muckworm -that is really helpful - I shall print out the list and put it on the fridge so I can check those things when she is having off days!

    This morning started badly but she got better as the day went on and even managed to amuse herself this afternoon which is very unheard of.

    And yes she does love her cups of tea! Smile
