I hate my 5 year old

The first sentences I read of this screamed to me of a girl with autism. Twenty years ago they did not diagnose girls with autism. Now they do, usually not until adulthood.

I would absolutely get her in to a specialist.

Look in to the differences in presentation of young girls, in recent study, vs., boys with autism. For some reason they’re chaotic and usually labeled as defiant, insubordinate, for lack of understanding the condition.

Usually their rigidity and inability to integrate is for lack of their own safety. Hyperactive, or even under active imagination at time makes them believe in youth even sometimes safe places are not safe without proper accommodation.

For some reason little girl autism doesn’t present in flappy arms and random screaming like little boys, it presents in defiance, destruction, inability to control or understand own emotions (like boys with different coping mechanism).

Please seek specialist.
