:crying: My little girl is 4 and a half and at a school nursery. She has (probably) ASD although the nursery dont believe it (i posted before about that). The day before yesterday she went into nursery no problem, but came out in the foulest of moods! She demanded i carry her out of the school grounds and when i asked her about her afternoon she hit me!! I put her down and said i dont carry girls that do that, then she stood in the playground and cried, i picked her back up and later that evening she said the teacher had moved her favourite activity and was going to put a new activity there, she also mentioned something about the teacher getting them to make more friends. Yesterday i was expecting trouble getting her to nursery but she was fine and came out quite pleasant!! So how should i deal with her should she hit again, i really dont want to do the wrong thing, she also fell in nursery yesterday and scraped her arm but didnt tell anyone because she was "shy" i presume she means embarrased? Is that usual? Helen x

HI Helen

It sound like my non dx AS son, He hates it when things are changed at school or not enough time to finish something..He is 9.

How I have delt with the hitting, is time out facing the wall, naughty step on stairs when they get home. Also ignoring them which they hate. I will interact with him again when they have said sorry and had there time to calm down and think about this.

I know I have let things slip in the past with the discipline as it is much easy to just let them get away with it but it does them no good and just gets worse. even though my AS son has a problem he is not allowed to act by hitting or kicking no matter how hard they find things.

Regarding the keeping quiet yes my son while at school play time got pushed to the floor and kicked on his bone at the botom of his back double over at times, but managed to keep it from the teachers because of embarassment. He eneded up in casualty as it got worse. The teachers could not believe how he had managed to hide it. He is like this with everything that happens to him at school.

Hope this helps.

Its up to you how you dealt with things with your own children, You will know whats the best way.

Hope things stay better at Nursery with your daughter.

Hi Helen,

 

Whenever any of the mums here have trouble like this, from my experience I have found the best way to get the help your child needs is to get an appointment with the Paediatrician get him to assess your child, make sure that they specialise in ASD that is important.

 

Write down all these things that are happening at Nursery, they are all important. With your daughter hurting herself, they say many ASD children don't feel pain as much as other children,so perhaps that had something to do with it. But again if she is shy I would point this incident out to the teacher so she can talk to your daughter about what to do if she hurts herself to ease her mind.

 

Once the Paediatrician has made the assessment he will write to the Nursery if you ask him and also ask him about Early Intervention therapys that the Nursery can be involved in if they are a good one. Speech therapy, Occupational therapy etc. ask the Paediatrician, even see about joining a support group for Autism, as a lot of them have courses with other parents to help you understand Autism or Autism spectrum conditions.

 

Along with that keep coming here and posting, as there is soooo much support here right at your fingertips, as you will see.

 

Hope this helps, someone will come on with lots more helps too I am sure.

 

All the best, enjoy the journey, you are your childs greatest alley. >:D<<'> >:D<<'> >:D<<'> >:D<<'>

 

Regards

Hailey
