My 8 y/o daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD and is on the pathway for ASD. We're looking at early 2024 for a diagnosis - UK. This has been really helpful and I'm going to look into family therapy. I think it could be very helpful for my daughter!! I believe she also has PDA or something similar. She is very VERY confrontational, aggressive and flat out refuses to do - well anything she doesn't feel like doing! I try talking to her about society and how it works and link that to some kind of understanding as to why we all can't just do whatever we like but she seems to percieve things differently and it boils down to the fact that she just doesn't see why or think she should have to do anything that she doesn't want to and will argue her point ferociously!! This leads to lots of daily problems as you can imagine. Around the house, trying to have any boundaries at all, food intake and her associated health, and school issues with homework and reading etc... I feel like I can't continue the way things are and have no support from my ‘husband’ and never have. He has adhd but undiagnosed, is an alcoholic and we are separated but still living in the same house for financial reasons. I've been sleeping on the sofa for coming up 3 years now!! My question is, will family therapy help and is it possible to have it without my husband? I know that sounds harsh but it would be a disaster and my husband would bring out the worst in my daughter which would negatively impact therapy. I feel like I'm getting to the end of my mental ability to cope and suiside is popping more and more into my head as the best option here. My daughter is medicated which helps with school (concentration and hyperactivity / impulse control) But home is a war zone!! Thank you Emma

I appreciate you taking the time to bring an asd specialist on the podcast. I think there is maybe an excess of focus on the sensory processing element of asd. Like, he seemed to be saying that literally every neurological difference between autistic and allistic people has the root cause of sensory overwhelm, when not all autistic people have sensory issues (though there is a higher correlation, obviously) and not all people with SPD are autistic, autistic people with sensory issues will experience them on a vast spectrum of severity, etc. Also wish he had deferred a bit more to the autistic self advocacy community. There is a vocal contingent that has made compelling arguments for why #YesAllABA is bad.

Yes family therapy will help without your husbad. Even just individual therapy would help or a combo of both! Hang in there! Your daughter needs a lovely parent like you in her life.
