[quote=Anonymous]We had a formal neuropsych and they saw minimal evidence of ASD although I wondered that too. However, she doesn’t have trouble adapting to changes in routine that she doesn’t have control over, like her schedule. So if I tell her we don’t have gymnastics this week she is really wholly unbothered. Maybe disappointed and She might ask why a few times but accepts the explanation. Or if the pool is closed she’s ok with it. It’s more like - when she decides something in her mind and someone goes against it, then she’s angry.

Although we’ve had visitors the last couple of days and they’re close family so I don’t think she is at all “masking” around them and she’s been very happy and not at all like she had been when I wrote this. So I don’t know.

To the poster that asked what the therapist said, I’ve described this to like 3 or 4 different therapists and they have all said it can be related to anxiety. So go figure. I’m actually realizing now in all the reading I’ve been doing that her older brother likely has some anxiety as well. Not nearly as impactful, but he does from time to time have meltdowns that I think stem from anxiety.[/quote]
