Hi Believer This sounds interesting if you could give me some more info that would be great. We are now booked in with the homeopath in 2 weeks time by the way what is NDF??? Also are you seeing the naturopathic physician privatly Thanks T

thanks alot for your reply karen think its deffinately worth giving it a try Love T

Hi all As I dont really want to put my daughter on medication I am thinking of taking her to a homeopath I have a leaflet on one lady Annie Hall she charges �68 for first visit and �30 each visit after that this lady has apparently visited local autism groups so she obviously thinks certain problems can be helped Anyone tried this and also What is the treatment used???? unsure T

Thanks for all replies I think my daughter does want to go to school but does not like any change or anything going wrong missing the bus is a bigi for her as she automatically thinks of being late and not knowing where to go even though we would have got her there on time she couldnt see that on these occasions I would rather keep her at home than see her going to school hysterical and everything getting on top of her at school unfortunatly my family cannot see this and think im letting her get away with it There view if she is bungled in the car and left at school it will make her think twice about missing the bus again T

Hi anyone else in this position couldnt get my teenage daughter to school today she missed bus then panicks as she thinks she'll be late my dad was going to take her but she worked herself up so much she didnt go she couldnt understand that she wouldnt have even been late. my parents think I should let them force her to go and just drop her off even though shes in a state crying etc they think shes doing it on purpose to defy me and im too soft on her and she gets away with things as im on my own even though shes been diagnosed people still think she'll snap out of it if im harder on her the thing is I just want her to get on and be happy maybe thats where im going wrong??? T

Hi all you might think its an unusual question but I just wondered how your kids coped with pets, how gentle they were and whether they were actually kind to them or not Tracey

Hi tree Just read your post you could have been talking about my own daughter at that age At least you are getting her assesed I didnt until she was 10, 13 when diagnosed with a form of asd Wish Id have done more about it when she was little Your doing the right thing Tracey

Yes I agree school hols are much more stress free My daughter only does homework in a couple of subjects as I was having the same trouble as you it was so stressful the school was only too happy to cut down homework basically they are happy with whatever i dicide Tracey

Flutter Thanks alot for the timetables Tracey

Flutter Tried to email you to no avail Have sent you pm with my email address for timetables Thanks Tracey

Thanks for all your replies It sounds as though risperdol has helped many kids Unfortunatly weight gain would cause more stress for my daughter she is in her teenage years and looks are everything She worries about her weight anyway and either wont eat (not very often) or eats for England It looks like risperdol is not for her At the moment I am looking into homeopathy Any views ?

Have been advised risperdol may help my teenage daughters anxiety&stress levels (if I want to go down that road) Anyone out there know if this can cause weight gain if so it would be a big problem T

Flutter I would like to try them if you have some saved Anything that might help thanks Tracey

yes I think the school holidays make a big difference to my daughters behaviour its much more relaxed Idont know about evening primrose but im sure omega 3 (�1.70) wilkinsons are making a difference (calmer) T

Thank you both for replies My daughter has been taking omega 3 for afew weeks now Ihave changed her from eyeq as I have read on previous posts eyeq has evening primrose in and mixed with fish oils is not always suitable for asds? Touching wood as I speak I can see slight difference since shes been on omega 3 T

It just makes me wonder just how much my daughter can control her temper We have had a few days away and she was with other teenagers doing there own thing (she seemed to cope pretty well) At the moment she is at a friends house for a couple of days (again ok) When shes at home with me we can have days where shes lovely but all the stress and anxiety of school and other stressful things seem to come out when shes at home Also her rages (which can be big) just happen at home it sets me thinking is she saving them up for mum because she can. Things got so bad a few weeks ago I was given the option of different medications I now wonder if this is needed I think she also gets pmt as we have a good couple of weeks followed by a nightmare of a time Advice anyone T

My teenage daughter can have a placid run for days and then we have a week of walking on eggshell as stress levels are so high anything can spark her off totally one extreen to the other T

Hi Margot10 My daughter was alot like that as she was growing up, but wasnt actually diagnosed untill her teens She has got a form of asd (quite a mixture really) I can see the lovely personality in her but it does not always come across like that says the wrong things etc. When temper gets the better of her its a world war. Its hard to say whether a diagnosis is a good thing or not(I think it probobly is) I went for years without one and now I have I think I let her get away with more (as I think well she cant help it) not always a good idea. T

Hi Amanda Most punishments dont seem to work with my daughter because at the time she is so focused on the item when it gets spoilt. The thing is she is so careful with her things so that they stay in perfect condition that when things happen to them she cannot understand why. I try and tell her not to worry so much and just enjoy the things, which she does try but cant seem to let go and relax, she knows shes a worrier and it really gets her down. T

hI ceecee My daughter has always been like this so I should probobly be used to it by now. Its just that as shes got older the result of a blow out when her things do get damaged are far worse I try my best to keep her calm but when things do get spoilt she can trash her room and be aggressive and you cannot reason with her I hoped as she got older this problem would calm down, how wrong can I get. T

Anyone else have this problem stupidly allowed my teenage daughter to buy some glittery aladdin type shoes yesterday (material with little gems sewn in them) sat in the shop ages explaining thet would soon get spoilt and wouldnt last. she begged and pleaded saying she wouldnt worry. Today is a different story panicking already checking them every 2 minuites this is before they have actually been worn Cursing myself for letting her get them but it seems such a shame not to let her have pretty things Once shes had them abit I know this will wear off and she'll relax (a little) but now its obsession of the moment T

Thanks Nellie Have found the link Dont really know if I qualify but will have a look T

Just been reading thread on family fund wonder if anyone can tell me what it is and who can get this Also is there a website Thanks T

Thanks Kathryn I did photocopy a couple of pages before sending it off Very nearly ripped the whole thing up and threw it in the bin especially after speaking to cahms lady who asked what my daughter thought of the claim my response was "she doesnt know" Imight not even get it I think shes thinking of the future (claiming herself etc) Why make problems for myself as response would either be I dont need to get that or Ill spend all the money down the shops T

Andrew Thanks for your advice Just finished form (thank god its now done) Put down lots of contacts Got my mum to fill in last bit really hated the whole thing Thanks all for help T
