We just came back from a small (15 or so people) family birthday party and it was a disaster. My DD7 (severe ADHD, SID tendencies, ASD tendencies) was "hyper" beyond believe the whole party. It was in a place where she had never been but had the usual family members. DD was excited beyond belief and couldn't sit still AT ALL and was "wound up" for the duration of the party. I tried several times to remove her to try and calm her down but it didn't work (removing her, usually going for a short walk and getting her to slow down physically and do some deep breathing or Yoga excerises works just fine) but this time NOTHING worked.
She has never been medicated and usually using behaviour management techniques she calms down but today, nothing worked.
How will she ever handle WDW???
I spoke to her in depth about it (after she was home and calmed down) and SHE said she had better stop going to parties of any sort and expect her to be "wound up"at WDW since her brain is different and this is how she has fun. I have never told her that her brain is different but being a bright kid, she often says things that I have no idea how to respond to. At the party she was a totally different kid and could hardly put two words together.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for letting me vent.
