Screaming meltdowns

NAS86982

Hello. I'm so glad I've found this forum! My 13 year old daughter is still on the assessment waiting list, has been since December 2021, but we have been struggling for years with her behaviour. She doesn't sleep, is hyper sensitive, has anger and anxiety issues, phobias and such a fussy eater. But it's the screaming meltdowns that are the hardest to cope with. We can't calm her when they happen, just have to wait for them to 'blow over'. However this evening was particularly bad. She banged her head against her wardrobe and screamed the house down, then the police knocked on the door. They had received calls from the neighbours. To be fair I'm surprised they hadn't called them before, but it's just so embarrassing. She has the same extreme reactions to the tinest knock, scrape or splinter, and I think it's her hyper sensitivity. Anyway it is nice to not feel so alone anymore. Wish I'd seen this forum years ago x

  • we had people report our son screaming whilst in a holiday bungalow. It was difficult as the police came in . It was evening and my husband had got ready for bed and was trying to explain to them whilst hoping around on one leg trying to get out of his pyjama bottoms and into trousers that the child had autism. We put a sign on the door to let others know about our son.A very nice dutch holiday maker knocked on the door to say sorry but he had worried about the s creaming child.We invited him in to meet our son and he completely understood our situation and we thought he had reacted with genuine concern.

    Thank you so much for all your replies. I completely understand why the police were called, it was out of genuine concern. It's still awkward. I might try and explain to the neighbours that she's waiting for a diagnosis and we're doing what we can. Xx
