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

  • Thanks so much.  I keep thinking I am causing trouble for myself by saying No and it would be easier giving in, but she wants everything and I can't afford to keep up with her but I do keep wondering am I doing more harm than good saying no.  most of the time I am just trying my best to keep her safe.

    When we say no we get hurt or something gets smashed big items like t.vs, computers and stuff

    Does anyone know of any courses which can help with my general knowlege of ASD or any services social services may provide which specifically relate to autism as I feel I have alot to learn as my daughter has such a new diagnosis and from reading through the website I know it is the correct diagnosis

    thanks again for all your help
