Hi
looking for some help / advice on how to deal with a challenging 11year old before my hair turns completely grey. She is hitting, slapping, verbally abusive and in public she deliberately tries to embarrass me. She has had a difficult 6 years with her dad consistently letting her down and is no longer able to see him due to his alcohol / violence issues. Recently she was assessed by cahms and the suspect she is on the austistic spectrum. What is the best way to deal with these out bursts? And is there any support I can get?
