REALLY NEED HELP!!!

ParentingAutism

My 14 y.o is refusing to do school work in school. Teachers have been trying to encourage her and been trying to help a lot but she just won't move. She will sit with her head on the desk with her hood up. Teachers will include her favourite hobbies in her work and reward her by looking at them on the laptop when she's done. But instead she will look at them during breaks/lunch and during her lessons and when she is told to do work she will just refuse. When teachers try to take the laptop away she will just find another one then become extremely frustrated and upset if teachers try take it away again. I'm just lost with her behaviour... I need help. Anyone know how to help?? 

Thanks x

  • She sounds hyper-stressed and is desperately clutching at things she can control but doesn't really have the next step in mind when she gets control.      How chatty is she?     Does she talk to anyone?         Do you know what is triggering her stress?    Is it other kids, noise, chaos, uncomfortable environments, structure or is she hating not being included and spotting how different she is?

    She isn't that chatty. She will speak to answer things but you can't have a full on coversation with her. She has 1 friend who she has always known and they chat sometimes at break/lunch. We have no clue what is triggering her unfortunately. She has one extremely loud boy in her class all day but break/lunch. It is quiet where her classroom is but she is in a PRU (pupil referral unit) so the main school is loud. (But due to covid it's been a lot quieter). When things do get tough for her she knows that the root cause for it is something that other people wouldn't get upset/angry/worried about so she spots how different she is and that no one will understand...
