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

  • I like tea tooSmile. I like tea with my lunch and tea with dark chocolate - this always makes me feel relaxed, as does the smell of tea, the perfect aromatherapy!

    Tiredness is a big factor for me. If I feel tired, I will get upset over things that usually would not bother me as much, like demands on my time, people asking me questions or getting me to do things etc.

    Sudden change always leads to an increase in anxiety, temporary or prolonged, depending on the extent of the change and how well the change is explained to me.

    If I am alone for a very long time, I can feel quite anxious, bored and slightly unhappy.

    Uncertainty of any sort brings on anxiety and obsessive thoughts. I often go over what someone has said in my mind, obsessing over what they meant, what will happen in the  future, what will happen if things are taken away from me etc.
