Trouble at school

Hi all, just wondered of someone could give me any advice if they are going through a similar situation. Today at school my daughter who is 7 and has a diagnosis of Asd stabbed a boy in the face with a pencil then went onto wrecking the classroom at break she blew her top because she had to come inside and resorted to taking of her skirt in front of everybody and refused to put it back on, she swore at her teacher and kicked her 1:1 assistant. The whole day was a disaster. i assumed that due to the fact the school begged for help for a 1:1 of the LEA for my daughter who was granted for the full time of school that these incidents would stop. I feel like she may not be supporting her in a preventative way which I was hoping was the purpose for her bring there. I don't know what to do, I'm dreading the school run in the morning when I have to face the child's mother. What can I do???? are there any behaviour therapies I could try? I've heard of cbt but I don't know much else about it. Or should I just stick with the school dealing with her behaviour? Xx

  • You are welcome, I hope it will help.  Its very difficult for everyone but the better the key worker/ta knows you and your daughter the better it will be. Our head got it right when she said to the staff they need to rememer that our autistic children have a disability just like a child in a wheelchair but the difference is that it is not visible and therefore people dont always realise.  They are not being naughty, they cant help it.  Since working with these kids and having my own child diagnsed just recently I have learned so much and my attitudes have changed hugely as a result.

    I am sure your school are doing their best and equally that the ta will really appreciate any help and communication you can have with her.

    Take care, hope all will be well tomorrow
