I ask this after having a conversation with a friend of mine who has a 6yo dd with ASD. She said that her dd was a lot easier to manage when she was 3 as she could pick her up after a meltdown, choose things for her (i.e clothes/toys) but now that shes a bit older, dd has a big say in a lot of things so everything turns into a meltdown. This has obviously scared me to death because Im finding my dd much much easier to handle now that her language and understanding is coming along, so I really hoped that as her language progressed, so would her behaviour. But feeling scared now!
So how are you dc in comparison to when they were younger?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
Do children with ASD or similar behaviours get easier as they get older?
