saying No

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

  • You sound exactly the same as me. I married into the biggest family in the area. Only explained things to one relation to be told she just needs to get in her head she needs to lose a couple of stone (medication ) and to stop hurting people. Wish it was so easy

    She threw a kettle of hot water at me (she didn't,t know it wasn't boiling) on the takeaway incident and didn,'t know she had done it.  It's so sad!!

    How does your son manage in school??Does he have many friends.  My daughter gravitates to all the people who are bad for her.  Can he care for himself at all?

    It's great speaking to someone who knows what it's like
