8 year old says she wants to die

[Guest guest]

She has PDD NOS and when she gets mad or angry she says it is the worst day of

her life and she wants to die. Sometimes when she is calm she will say nothing

good happens to her and she has never had a good day. Sometimes she will say

she does not really want to die when she is calm. I just told her she is on the

spectrum and she did not have much of a reaction. I don't know if she really

heard me or understood. She has said that kids call her weird and she is

different so I thought it was time to tell her. I talked to her about seeing a

counselor to talk about how she feels and she agreed. What do you think.

Sometimes when she slams the door and says she is going to put her finger in the

socket I really worry she is going to do it. Or is this just to get my

attention?
