Help / Advice??

[Guest guest]

This has been a hectic week, and it’s only half over. I

hope this makes sense. Here’s the background.

It started Saturday. We went to our friend’s house for

dinner.

1)

We met new people, us adults hit it off

(score)

2)

Our kids enjoyed meeting the new kids (score)

3)

Later another one of our friends, friend

showed up with her mean and badass little kid. (that’s putting it mildly)

(sucks)

Sunday her “seat†at the Sunday lunch place was taken

but she did well in our backup seat.

Monday behavior issues at gymnastics

Tuesday play date which we have VERY few of those. It

went fairly well.

Anyways, since Saturday night our daughter (four and a half years old) has been

acting out. When she is off her schedule it gets VERY difficult around here.

This is why I am writing….

Lately (before Saturday) she has been going through

something we figured maybe just a change or something….. BUT since Saturday it

is a lot more pronounced.

Have any of you had your kids do anything like this….

She has been (I don’t know what to call it) reliving or

reenacting the past? For example last night (we often struggle to get her to

settle down for bed)

She stood on her head, then the spinning and the finger

flicking and rocking ect…. asking things

like:

Can we go to the beach? (last time we went to what she

is talking about was Aug 2010) stressful vacation for all of us

Can we go back to church to take our pictures? (October

2011) it turned out to be stressful

Can we go to gymnastics? Earlier this week she was reprimanded

in gymnastics (actually it was a good time to talk to the coach about things

and it turned into a good thing for us adults)

Mommy I miss you… I don’t know why she keeps saying

that, I am always here with her 24/7. The only time I was away from her was

twice once thanksgiving 2009 I was in ICU for a week (exhaustion turned into

pneumonia) and when she saw me she was frightened (tubes & wires)

Next time February 2010 I was away for four days when I

had my son. I suspect a lot of spanking went on from my MIL I don’t have proof

but my daughter remembers every detail from everything. I believe my daughter.

She was firing off probably close to 30 different

things running through her mind like things I mentioned above. Over 90% of the

things she mentioned were stressors for her. This went on for hours…..

She was reciting long parts of movies yesterday too. Along

with all of this she has been doing more stimming.

She fell asleep close to eleven and woke up at 6:00

this morning frantic to go see the moon and her sunflowers in the garden. I

know she didn’t sleep well since we had loud storms…

Is this par for the course and the age? I wish there

was a book called what to expect as your Asperger’s kid grows….

Any suggestions? We see her doctor in the middle of August.
