I'm so tired of it

Hi everyone

I am so fed up of people telling me I make our SPD/ASD daughter worse because of my behaviour towards her. I'm tired of being told she is fine at school so it must be something I am doing at home. I'm also fed up of coming in from work and hubby saying she has been fine till you got home. I'm always being told that this is her and I can't fix her, I know that but I can't help wanting to help her when something upsets her. Hubby says I have to tell her if things change and she just has to deal with so there's no point in me pandering to her. Sorry about the moan but I needed to let it out xx

  • Hi everyone

    My daughter is now 9 and was diagnosed with autism at the age of 7, although I knew she was autistic from nursery age. My daughter is also a model pupil in school and her teachers always comment on how much effort she puts in and how happy she is during school. It is a totally different story at home though. I ask her how her day has been and straight away the attitude comes out and she's a totally different child. She has picked all her fingernails off and then starts on her toenails. I'm quite worried about her weight at the moment as she just eats non stop and is always saying she is hungry even though she has only just eaten. She is age 9, but is in 13-14 clothes with size 4-5 adult feet. She has grown up so fast. She is only in year 5 when she goes back, but I am already dreading secondary school as she still flaps and rocks a lot and I know she just will not cope with day to day changes.
