Having the diagnosis conversation with your child

Post Reply New Topic

My daughter is 7 and too immature to have this conversation. My problem is my 13 yo daughter who is as NT as one can be. She gets very annoyed with the little one. My yougher daughter will go to people and start explaining about a topic and nothing, NOTHING can stop her . I tried to explain to her that not everybody is interested, that it's not polite but she doesn't get it. She also does this at school and not only during breaks and she gets in trouble. The teacher likes her because she is the best in her year (she's younger that the other kids as well), she is a very friendly kid and really wants to please and help everybody. She's got some anxiety problems but she can control that very good. I didn't discuss the AS with the teacher either, she seems to think that my daughter is immature because she's younger than the kids in her class.

Going back to my 13 yo, she is a good kid and she is all hormonal at this age with mood swings and all that. I try to understand her too, it's a difficult age and she is not near as difficult as her friends. But she gets sooo annoyed with her little sister's rants, and it gets very tense in the house. How do I explain her what's going on? And will this help with her attitude and patience towards her little sister?
