I need help with my daughter, could people who know Aspergers help me?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:This doesn’t sound specific to Aspergers. It sounds like she’s starting to assert her independence, it’s about that time in her life when she starts to learn how to take care of herself. Hopefully some parents in the same situation can give you some solid advice, but I believe in general you want to set boundaries as to what you find to be acceptable behavior and stick to them so they’re as clear and consistent as possible. Let her know you’re there for her and that you will respect her boundaries but being rude is not acceptable for example (if that’s your position).
