Any advice. Really struggling

NAS86086

Hello I'm new here. 

My daughter(age 5) is recently diagnosed. 

I really struggle with communication with her. 

She has angry outbursts and alot of the time I have no clue what's started it. 

She never wants to talk and work through things I give her time to calm down or till she feels ready but she just blows up in my face time and time again. 

She throws things at me, hits, spits and says really spiteful things 

My patience is wearing thin and I feel defeated and useless.

We read the colour monster book time and time again which does help with what emotion she's feeling but it never goes further than that in conversation 

I always always always tell her she can talk to me about anything, anywhere, anytime.

I just feel like a terrible mum. 

Maybe what I'm doing is making it worse Pensive I would just really like some advice.

    You really need to talk to Pinpoint at www.pinpoint-cambs.org.uk/.../ even if you are not in Cambridgeshire. In particular join the Tii Hub on Friday mornings. There you will find other parents who have been through the same experiences. Most of us feel it is something we have done wrong but soon found it is not. My only advice is to never confront. May seem easier said than done but there are other ways of dealing with these situations.
