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
