My 9 year old daughter

I literally don't feel I can cope anymore.

My 9 year old daughter is out of control.

She goes out of her way on a daily basis to make everyone miserable and absolutely WILL NOT STOP until she achieves this goal. 

She will shout, scream, be cruel to the cat, accuse you of hurting her, be violent, break things and then smile and laugh when your left in tears. 

I don't know what to do anymore?

I've been to the "understanding autism groups" tried every strategy known to man and nothing works. 

I am at the stage now that I no longer believe I can parent my child. I am miserable 24/7 and have had enough. 

I'm open to suggestions but unless it's "put a bullet through my skull" it probably won't be relevant. SobSob

  • I’m so sorry - that sounds incredibly stressful and difficult. It’s so different to my experience with my own autistic children (I’m also autistic). 
    what does she say about why she is behaving in this way? It seems so extreme. Is it an outlet for stress she is under at school maybe? Does she behave well at school - or are there problems with her behaviour at school too? 
    is there anything that really calms her and settles her?
