Re: Do behaviors really diminish after period arrives?

[Guest guest]

Dear , this is just my opinion ,I dont know alot of other moms that

went thru what I did. was uncontrollable between the age of 3 and 9

years old. I do not know what changed . She started her period then I

found a doctor that DX her with autism at the same time then I changed my

life style to fit s routines. I went on prozac around this time also.

I almost send away because she was so bad. Now , like I said ,I dont

know what happened but I have a very calm ,sweet ,easy going ( just dont

change anything without telling her first ) child .She is so good with

everything. One more thing ,she takes pepcid for her stomach. all of this

was around the same time so ( just my opinion ) I think it all has something

to do with the unbelievable change in her. Sincerely, and wish I could help

, Donna ((mom to 15 autism and 9 ))

Hi, I didn't notice anything like what you describe, but if she is

getting ready to start her period, she might be feeling

uncomfortable. Also, the hormones might be getting out of whack. If

she's uncomfortable, you could try giving her ibuprofen a couple of

times a day for a few days and see if that helps (it's what I give

Juniper for cramps). I don't know what to do about the hormones.

Juniper's behavior has gotten better as she's gotten older, but I

don't know if it had anything to do with her period starting or not.

I think it was just because she's still learning and growing --

slowly!

Hi,

The timing of this posting was ironical. My daughter,

Amber will be 14 in August and just started her period

yesterday. Her behaviors have really been getting out

of control up to now. The day before her period

started she was really out of control. Temper

tantrums, yelling, screaming, being really angry to

everyone. Even Amber told me today that she really

didn't understand why she was that way a couple of

days ago. I don't know what the following days will

bring, hopefully a quieter and calmer Amber. I will

let you know what we experience. I hope that her

hormones will level off.

Hi -Between ages 9-11, Jill's behavior, especially at school was

out of control. It ranged from extreme silliness, to loud talking

all of the time, to moodiness and tears for no apparent reason, etc.

When she got her period at age 11, she was a bit confused on the

personal hygiene aspects of menstruation and privacy. The behavior

did improve, though. At this point, we do not see any tantrums as of

the " younger " days. We do see some whining, complaining just before

or during her period. Occasionally, she will complain of a headache

or stomach ache, but that's about it.

Hi Listmates,

This question is directed to the parents whose daughter's have already

had their period. I read some postings once that stated that behaviors can

really get out of control just before a girl has her period, but once she

gets it, things calm down some. Am I just hoping for the best or has this

really happened to any of you. My daughter, , who is 12, has been

having an increase in the temper tantrums, yelling, crying, pinching and

hitting against her face(at least she uses a towel) over the past few

months. No signs of her period yet. Can any of you share your experiences

with the before and after period scenerio?

Thanks again,

I wouldn't say that general behaviors improve,

necessarily, although they might for some girls. Jan

has terrible PMS (runs in the family and so I feel is

totally unrelated to autism) but since she has trouble

expressing herself verbally she can't just say " I have

PMS, now leave me the heck alone! " Her periods are

pretty regular so I try to stay aware of when

problems might strike and be proactive. Usually a few

days before her period starts she gets a bump or two

on her face, over which she agonizes -- typical! Jan

started her periods when she was 12, about the average

for our family. Having older sisters, particularly

one just 18 months older than her, has been a

tremendous help to Jan, since she was already familiar

with pads, seeing the blood on undies, etc. -- just

not in connection with herself. It was a bit

disconcerting for her at first, as I think it is for

all young girls, but she has adjusted pretty well.

If I'm paying attention, I can usually tell when Juniper's periods

are about to start by the pimples -- she doesn't have many except

just before her period. Her periods are not regular, so it helps to

have a visual signal like that, though she's pretty good about

letting me know now, esp. if she needs help.

Hi , my daughter gets weepy, moody and sometimes angy

right before her period comes. It is typical PMS. She had started

her period in March, just 2 days after her 11th birthday. SO yes, if

she has all the pubic signs, has breast buds, and is heavy enough, I

believe one must have a certain amount of body fat to be able to

menstruate, then IT maybe coming soon. also started

urinating alot, like she felt pressure, but did not have a urinary

tract infection. She was check for that many times.

Dear ,

wonder if PMS medicine works with our girls?
