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

  • Hi I am mum to 12 year old boy with adhd and asd.He is very prone to cause damage to property and to anyone in our home who does not comply with his demands.He becomes completely out of control and is unable to calm down and talk about his feelings without escalating into a very dangerous level of aggression.I have had to call the police out and when they've attended he very quickly changes and though he dosent talk about his feelings he will say he's sorry and sounds almost angelic in his responses.This comes after myself being injured and him laughing because I have fallen over.It scares me that he can switch it on and off like that and I'm not sure how we can continue on like this as I have no intention of repeatedly phoning the police in order to restore mine and my families safety.Can anyone relate
