Shaunamom thank you, funny you mentioned the food thing, my naturopath has suggested we try to take her off Gluten as she said some Autistic children were better when that was eliminated, I think she was trying to see if my theory was right, we tried and it made a little difference but nothing I thought was grand. maybe I should give it another go for longer
Bssage "There are a lot of other thing that concern me and my family that you have in your post I.E. family stress hardship for siblings and dad. But if I make my post to long it will be hard to read. I suggest you break down you OP to smaller groups of problems that you can get more specific advice. After all a little help is better than no help." I am confused by this, i did not think I posted anything else about my other daughter or my hubby in this? (what's OP?
) I don't quite know how to break it down, my issue is Kerstin and how to help her and us deal with her. I don't think her issues are seperate, everything to me seems like there is a connection that is why I posted it all together.
I will check out the IAN.com site thank you, and I will try the ear plug thing as well.
the social dissability you speak of, I understand what you mean, she was worse when she was younger. She seems more "socially disabled" when she has a "Dr Jeykle, Mr Hyde" episode. We had one of her friends over in winter they wanted to play outside, Gwen got her snow stuff on faster so I opened the door for her so she would not get hot, Kerstin being slower started to cry, after 10 mintues she said she wanted to walk out the door first? I explained that Gwen was getting hot and could not wait, so I said next time she can ask for help and I would help her but right now I could not change the past what is done is done. She went out side and sat in the corner and cryed, she would not play with Gwen for the rest of the day, Gwen came in talked with me for a while, played on her own, then asked if she could go home. :wideeyed: This is an example, so to me it seemed like for a while if she is getting her way she is fine, which I then assume do we give her her way too much, no, I am actually a strick parent and when I make a decision I stick with it.
M2M, I have suggested that my daughter has issues with dealing with her emotions, my sister agrees and so does my hubby. But my family and friends have stated to me that all kids don't have the ability to deal with emotions and it comes with time?? Now that you say this I wonder if that is not true, that my daughter is "behind" in that ability?
Sorry this went long.
