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

    Same here!  I'm looking for the same answers as you.  It is very hard, isn't it?  I can't even tell friends and family about the difficulties I have because his behaviour is just so shocking - I'm ashamed and don't want people to know about his outbursts.  He can be so lovely in many other ways.  His siblings are terrified of him.
