Strategies for my daughter coping

I am looking for advice if anyone can please help.

My daughter who has limited speach just turned 4 in January. She is really struggling at the moment when something is being done that in her mind isn’t the “correct” way. For example if someone is washing their hands the wrong way, or a child is playing with the buttons on an arcade game but not actually playing it properly. It can send her in to complete meltdown, and she is lashing out more during these too. This is happening at home and a lot at nursery too. I’m a single mum desperately looking for any help. Any strategies or coping mechanisms we could try would be appreciated.

  • wow, i'm 66 and diagnosed at 62... i wasn't that aware of why i do --- what your daughter does. 

    uh, i'll toss out maybe art therapy? with the proviso that i no very little about kids with this issue. but art can be super flexible and fluid, or it can be super strict... i think that might be helpful.... in letting her explore boundaries...??  my degree is in fine art - painting.

    i'm sure people here can help u and your daughter out.
