Hello everyone.
Our seven year old daughter has sensory processing disorder and mild asd. She is holds it all together in school so when we try to get help from the professionals, doors are closed all the time. I really want to help her but everything I've tried makes no difference. At the start we we're very visual with everything but she wasn't bothered. We have tried treating her normally but her behaviour is not good as she needs daily therapy for her SPD. She will occasionally hit, have bad attitude and struggles to fall asleep. She gets really bad anxiety and makes herself poorly with it at times. As its currently the holiday season, she has really struggled and I feel so lost. She asks to do stuff which i know sets her off but I don't know if we should stop her doing it. I can't make her u understand that doing these things will upset her. She has lots of therapy tools but I struggle to keep her using them or make her understand they will help her. She asked for toys for Christmas but she struggles to play and if we try to play with her she looses it. It's like she wants to collect these things to know they are there. She has a reward chart but isn't bothered. I just want to help her but feel lost xxx
