Was wanting some input
My daughter is 6 years old. I could always tell something was off. When she started kindergarten last year she got diagnosed with adhd and intellectual disability. We see a psychiatrist every couple moths. I tell her over and over I feel like there’s more wrong to my daughter then what has been diagnosed. She set me up with OT which I’m still waiting for a call from them. She said they will run more test and will be able to find out more... I know nothing about OT let alone autism besides what I have read online and not always are things helpful. I just want to be able to help my daughter and I’m pregnant with my 3rd child and my emotions are ever worse about it all. I knew when she was younger things were off but I figured I’m a stay at home mom I new to all of this and was learning the ropes how to be everything at once. With being the only one who has really took care of her. When she was three I got pregnant with my third let’s just say she went backwards I chalked it up to being sad with me having another baby. Once baby got hear things changed she started acting like a big sister and my brain was going crazy I pushed things to the side thinking she was fine. But the signs are the same but have changed in a way as she gets older. She isn’t as fussy like when she was little she gets moms busy at times. But she still has her melt downs. She will bite her self and they lie cause she doesn’t want to be told how much we love ours selfs and it’s my okay to bite our selfs give your self a hug now that it’s summer she hasn’t done it as much as when she was overly simulator so much. I just was wondering if anyone could relate
Gets mad or angry over little things a lot
Throws whinnying fits
Will pee in her brothers potty if she sees a bug(very scared of any kind of bug)
Forgets everything
Is quite when she is doing something she really enjoys. Like coloring and gets really upset when her brother joins, or will get mad at him for using certain coloring stuff
Walks on tippy toes random times
She is quite
Has trouble with speaking loud
Speech delay now in speech at school
Gets upset and won’t eat her food if certain things touch
Likes the tv on cause it gives just enough light. Tried all kids of night lights and she just wasn’t it having it
Very clumsy could trip over her own two feet. Has gotten better but she does it quit a bit
She doesn’t like big changes or being told something and the plans change.
Takes every to the heart with get really up set. She doesn’t know when people are playing or not
Loud sounds bother her
If she wakes up in the middle of the night she thinks it’s morning time will eat and then I wake up have to come tell her that it’s still bed time start her nighttime routine all over again
Oh she has a nighttime routine where I have to tuck her in tickle her back and I have to tell her what to dream about if I forget to do any of theses she will not sleep till we start it all over again
Self harms at times
