Menstrual cycle in autistic 10 year old non verbal girl

tara2025

Hi I am the mother of an amazing 10 year old girl. She is really struggling at the moment, she is autistic non verbal and she has started her cycle. She’s having severe meltdowns and can be really angry towards me and family members. Has anyone else been through this with their daughter and do you have any advice please.

  • Does she understand whats happening to her and why?

    When my daughter started hers, we made a bit of a celebration of it, becoming a woman and gradually allowing her the things that belong to adulthood, even little things like a box of chocolates designed for adults rather than children.
