  • Hi all, I am new to all this and find it a relief to know that I am not alone. My daughter is 12 and was diagnosed with ASD when she was 6 and while I had no problems with her at primary school it seems that every week there is something happening since she started secondary school last September. I also have had days when she has refused to get up and go to school, when I have forced the issue with her she has taken to barracading herself in her bedroom by pushing her bed or even the wardrobe against the door!!! We had the same problem this morning, she had an appointment with the nurse to have an injury re-dressed, but she refused to get up saying she didn't want to go, I tried all sorts so I ended up cancelling the appointment. I am finding all this very stressful and sometimes I find it very difficult to bond with her Frown
