Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Yes I to be to feel girls can be and many are of this spectrum or not. It maybe related to personality and frustration levels or ability level to communicate effectively thems thinking of needs or wants.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 When my daughter, , turned 12, and puberty kicked in, she started engaging in some self-injurious behavior which later turned into aggression towards her teachers. She'd have emotional mood swings, temper tantrums like a 2 year old, and cry and whine constantly. She could kick, scratch, bite and try to strangle someone when flying into rages. She is now 15 and all of these behaviors have almost disappeared through the use of digestive enzymes, a calming amino acid called glycine and Trimethylglycine (TMG) with folic acid and B12 supplement. Various medications made her worse. So far we have been so happy with her progress. destructive behavior > Hello! > > I'm looking for info regarding girls who are on the autism spectrum and > destructive behaviors.

Did you wean her off the Risperdal before starting on the vitamin/enzymes? Kayla, age 11, is having some bad days at school. We are considering weaning her from Risperdal and Prozac. Any advice, anyone ????????? Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Oh yes they do! My daughter Kassie age 7, has in the past destroyed plants to shreds, she has ripped cupboard doors of hinges, she once took a pen and ripped a HUGE hole in my couch cushion. It already had tiniest rip in it. The child can spot anything, she has found backs to earrings for me that I have dropped and couldn't find. These are things that I can think of off the top of my head and they happened when she was 3-4 years old. She isn't destructive like that now. She destroyed her room the other day for the first time in forever....ripped pictures off the wall, clothes out of her drawers and hanges in closet. She picked every bit of it up too, made her. How old is your daughter??? Carla > Hello! > > I'm looking for info regarding girls who are on the autism spectrum and > destructive behaviors. Is it very common and what has been your > experience?

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 This was GREAT and couldn't have come at a better time. Having one of those days, ya know? Not to mention it's been raining for 40 days and 40 nights, (ok, I'm exaggerating here, but still it's way too much rain and wicked cold). So anyway, thanks for the smile, I truly needed it!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Dianna did you to be to buy gates and teach the child that he can not be to go beyond the gates such as maybe have hims gated to the living room only when up this gives Annie more movement to be about her home where the little one cant evade of her space. Secondly it gives the little one more direct supervision. If Annie comes to the living room she must also have of rule if there she cannot be to come there unless a grown up is there to help her cope with the little one there. The little one must learn too if Annie is a chair or areas sitting to watch of TV then he cannot be to come into her space unless invited. Yes it will be hard for a time. but both appear to need to have clearly defined boundaries. Maybe even buy the little one a chair designed for little ones for the TV room and if Annie is in the living room he can then have run of the other parts of the house for a time. We had to do similar things to Missy as a baby because Isaiah was struggling with her ways too.He too tried to choke her once and we told him rule was he could not touch her but he had to use hims words when overwhelmed by her and we would remove her from the areas to give him a break.
