behaviour

Hello we have been told by  my 6 year old daughters paediatric doctor that she may have aspergers. She is prone to really bad melt downs at home and out shopping etc i talked to school because i wanted to keep them in the loop  i had a meeting with the sen and special needs teacher i told them all about my daughters habits/ways such as she sniffs stones,books,pantyliners etc holds our faces tightly and rubs with her tongue sticking out. She refuses to wear jeans and hates tights takes her ages to put her socks on. she is very often aggressive with me her dad, brother,sisters if we are out shopping she screams shouts and lays on the floor she her voice is high pitch and she says everyones staring at me. She always washers her hands and hates getting them dirty she is also  a very fussy eater. The thing is school made me feel crap they said she is perfect at school very quiet and timid so i need to make her bahave and let her know i'm the boss i was told in there opinion theres no medical problem i'm left feeling stupid but life for our family at home and out shopping etc is hard work my other children are not perfect but they know when to behave. Is it possible that a child with aspergers can be good at school but prone to melt downs at home? please help and sorry about going on just feel like no one gets it if that makes sense. thanks

  • hello thanks for the replies makes me feel better i was starting to think i was going mad. We have seen the paediatric doctor once and my little girl was on full form i was told that she doesn't listen justs asks more questions non stop she also said shes above averange intellegent she only stared school in sept but she can read shes  been moved upto year 1 from reception mornings are hard she refuses to get dressed and begs to stay at home she insists shes poorly. The teacher has to drag her in most mornings. We are also waiting to go for blood tests for fragile x etc... the doctor said she looks different i must admit she looks different to my other children but shes beautiful big brown eyes bless her. I spent the wkend dwelling on what they said at school so i walked into school and told them i'm not happy and i know i'm a bloody good mum and i do discipline her bahaviour isn't my fault!!! and i feel better for saying what i feel.When she was a baby she never crawled or walked round furniture she couldn't sit independently for more than a few seconds at 9 monthes she then went on to bottom shuffle and walked around two years when she hit 2 1/2 gone was my well behaved little girl.

    thanks m
