DIVORCE, ETC

DIVORCE, ETC

 I WAS DIVORCED WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS 2.5 DUE TO MY EX BEING  VERBALLY ABUSIVE AND EMOTIONALLY AS WELL, MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM AT AGE  6.5 AND NOW IS  10 AND HAS MAJOR BEHAVIOR ISSUES DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE SHE REMBERS THE ABUSE MY EX DID DURING THAT TIME AND OR DO YOU THINK JUST ACTING OUT MORE BECAUSE OF THE AUTISM OR BOTH,.MM

Hi Mom,
If you have the monies to have your daughter seen by a child psychologist, please do so immediately. If you do not have the monies to see a private practice doctor, reply with your city and state and I will find you a free service so your daughter can be looked at by a professional.
To answer your question, yes, I do believe she could be suffering from PTS (post-traumatic stress) from the abuse that she was a party to when she was 2.5. Do not wait in hopes that things will get better, they will not. She is not that far off from her teenage years. She needs to be diagnosed for her behavioral issues. Although there are some behavioral issues with children that are autistic, as a Mother I would want to know for sure whether that was all that was going on and to get guidance on what to do. The answers are out there! Good Luck Mom let me know if I can be of any further service to you.

Hi Mom!
I am so glad to hear that you are already seeing a developmental pediatrician! That’s great news. You need to relay to him/her what you have said in your posts. The Doctors office may be able to administer the tests needed or they can give you a referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist that can! You should be in good shape. Make waves Mom and insist that she get tested so that you can rule out if her behavioral issues have to do with exposure at a young age to traumatic events.
