Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hello, I am new to the board. We have a 10, almost 11 yeard old daughter, that is Autisic. I have no idea of where she is one the spectrum. She is in a special day class at her school. She can dress herself, do simple tasks, brush her teeth, some chores, is potty trained, but needs help, in cleaning, when BM, (I think it's laziness and a little fear of not getting clean enough). She can tell us of her wants, has the ability to have a limited conversation, basically yes, no, etc,. Can use the computer and play video games quite well. She is a great speller, and does mulitiplication, to a certain degree. She is also, very emotional, echo's and stubborn. You really cannot have a normal conversation with her and does not have a normal age appropiate play. Therefore, " normal " kids do not play with her. She still flaps her hands. We are going to try the gfcf, diet. We have already started with what she takes to school, but have not completely go full throttle. She used to ride horses and just finshed up kicking boxing. We are going to get her back to swimming and are on the waiting list to get her back to riding horses. I am definetly looking for support and advice. We are starting to pull our hair out with her. We know that she is starting those darn preteen years, which is hard enough on the " norm " kids, she is really compiled with the issues. Sorry this was so long and I hope that I can really find the time to be able to hit this board everyday. Not always easy, I have two other kids, boys, 3 and 15 months.
