We have to have the same conversations over and over.

Hi there, 

Any advise would be great. My nearly 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with ASD back in October last year. 
We find that we are always having to have the same conversations over and over. For example she likes to have the volume up so loud when watching her iPad or listening to her music with her headphones on. We tell her daily to turn it down but she doesn’t ever seem to listen. We’ve explained its to protect her hearing. It’s so frustrating for us. 
Does anyone else go through the same thing with their children. Any suggestions on ways to get her to listen and take on board what we’ve told her? Or explanation as to why she doesn’t listen? Sorry if this sounds like a really silly question.

thank you in advance for your advise. 

:-)

    You have my deepest sympathy,  but no real practical advice.   I hope other people here will be more helpful.

    I had a similar problem with my late father, he would start a pointless argument and then repeat it every day,  after day, after day, for months. He never took any notice of what other people were saying to him.  Communication with him was very difficult with him.  Several strategies work, although I wouldn't recommend any of them.

    1. I avoided him for months,  until he forgot what he was ranting and raving about.
    2. My auntie,  lost control and screamed into his face,  to get his attention in order to communicate with him.
    3. Other people resorted to physical force or even violence.

    It's a difficult situation.
