Today has been a bad day for my daughter is school. We are trying to figure out the reason for the behaviour but so far have no clue what the trigger was. School phoned me earlier and explained how today she was showing challenging behaviour in ways that isn't her 'usual' ways.
For example, it just happened completely out of the blue. Staff were outside because she wanted them there, there was only another student in her classroom who was fine. Next thing, she is chucking and kicking things off her desk across the room. Then she is running round school and then she throws and kicks more things about in the foyer (main area) before hitting a member of staff who was blocking a door. She then was held, and she started head banging, biting herself so they couldn't let go and when they did, she would bite herself even more.
She then went for a walk with staff holding her supporting ice packs on the parts she hurt. On the walk she was described as being very wobbly and stumbling all over the place. All this behaviour isn't what she would usually do and especially for how long it went on for. At the end of the day she refused to get into her taxi so I picked her up. Not the best day for anyone but we can't help her if we don't know the trigger. Even she has no clue and keeps asking me what I think. I'm completely baffled as the school. There were no obvious triggers and school staff asked her questions and didn't find an answer.
On the walk, she refused to go back to school twice when they got near the door, she would just turn around. Just wondering what others opinions are from a different point of view.
