I know that no one can diagnose her however I would like an opinion if anyone has any free time... the more opinions the better, thank you
She has sensory issues, for example, she completely freaks if someone is eating anything with caramel in, I think it's the texture that bothers her, they then have to wash their hands before they can come anywhere near my sister. she also won't go anywhere near toddlers in case they dribble on her. she has never worn stickers or badges and won't wear anything with writing on.
she has had meltdowns since a very young age. she is now nearly 11 and still has full-on meltdowns however only when around family, not at school, do you think there is a reason for this? these meltdowns are often over silly things, like losing a game or having to walk the dog or not getting something in a shop.
she also struggles with conversations, she has been offered a phone and she has said she doesn't want one because she would have to talk to people and she never knows what to say. she is also in the habit of making things up when she is with her friends, she also says this is because she doesn't know what to say.
