saying No

dolly1

My daughter is 14 years old and has just been diagnosed with ASD and ADHD.  The main thing I am struggling with at the moment is she does not seem to accept the work no.  If she wants to do something/ wants something she has to have it and does not seem to understand why she can't.  Does anyone have similar problems.

Also do local authoritys have specific help they can offer or courses which should be made available to children/parents living with autism as she seems to have the diagnosis but we don't know where to go from here.  She is currently being assessed for an EHC plan

Thank you

  • I dont really understand why i cant do what i want to do when i want to do it and i'm twice your daughters age. I find it hard when people say no to me. Its easier if they present my with a couple of options other that what i wanted to do. Its kind of a get out clause and i dont have to back down and not get my own way. I just get an alternative way.

    So rather than saying no i get "well we could do A or B, which one do you fancy" i get to pick so i still have control over the situation

    Hope this isnt too muddled
