Rudeness

NAS85155

Hello!

my 10 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with autism and we are struggling with her awful rudeness.

she is awfully rude to me and her dad and so unkind to her younger sister. We are treading on egg shells all the time and are struggling to cope with her behaviour.

Any ideas on what we can do? It’s usually when she’s stressed or anxious but she knows that it is unacceptable to be rude. She says she can’t help it.

any advice would be great fully received.

thsnk you, 

Emma

  • "Rude" is a very broad term that encompasses a lot of things.  

    For autistic people, sometimes we are interpreted as rude because we see things from a different perspective or because we are honest about things.  Sometimes we don't understand the social rules or think that they're counter productive.  There are so many different ways that we can offend people without meaning to.  Sometimes we just need space.
