Hello,
my daughter was diagnosed in march. We moved her to a new school which has really helped with her shutdowns. How we are in the summer holidays things have taken a backwards step. We have tried to keep an element of structure to her day and most of the time during the day she is happy and engaging, however, it seems like the last 20 mins before she goes to sleep she gets upset. She can’t explain why she feels like this. Sometimes it’s an hour or two of chatting and hugging, other times she gets violent. During this time whatever we try to suggest to help (cold drinks, hugs, weighted blanket, car ride, play a game, ) doesn’t.. then suddenly after say an hour she says she’s going to bed and goes to sleep..
We don’t understand what starts or stops the shutdowns
can anyone help?
thanks
john
