[quote=Anonymous] OP, my dd, who is now 8, has a similar profile to your dd's (dx asd and spd, likely anxiety too).

I will say-my dd's behavior at 8 is far different than at 5. She really blossomed in the last year and a half. The meltdowns have diminished to nearly none (she is learning to manage her emotions). She wasn't a major eloper, but it did occur-that's gone too. OP, sounds like you and she are doing the right things (therapies, ect) and I think things will change for the better for you both!!! My dd made big strides in 1st grade (2nd now) so this child you have at 5, will change.

I understand what you are saying about accepting her for who she is. My dd is fun and amazing! but she also can be difficult and unpleasant (not often). I have to remember that the world probably looks different to her than it does to me and things affect her differently.

I wanted to 2nd (3rd?) what PPs have said about horse therapy/animals. Although my dd is scared of horses, I've known kids, particularly girls, like ours who LOVE them and the riding/grooming therapy! It might be worth a try. (as an aside, my dd petted a therapy horse last weekend!!! progress!)[/quote]
