My child has meltdowns *

Daily -- and they're intense & sometimes last for hours

Not often, but my child's meltdowns feel super intense when they do happen

About the same amount as most kids their age, I guess?

When my child is in a loud, stimulating environment, they: *

Really struggle -- loud noises, crowds of people, and schedule changes really throw them off, and they often melt down after

Sometimes struggle and sometimes do okay, depending on how much rest they've had and whether they've eaten

Usually do just fine

When my child hurts someone else (even by accident), they: *

Sometimes respond in a caring way -- but other times, they shut down or refuse to acknowledge that they did anything hurtful

Tend to get angry or act like they don't care, especially if they feel like they're in trouble or did something wrong

Usually seem to feel bad about it & try to make it better

My child struggles with aggressive behaviors: *

Hardly ever

When they're really overwhelmed

Frequently, especially toward parents and/or siblings

My child's emotions: *

Always seem to be super intense

Sometimes seem intense but not always

Usually seem pretty normal compared to others their age

When I try to talk to my child about their feelings and behaviors: *

It doesn't go well -- they either run away, get really silly, or get angry and aggressive

It usually goes pretty well -- my child will listen and participate in the discussion

It sometimes goes okay and other times not so much

My child is frustrated by sensory stimuli like itchy tags or loud noises: *

Almost daily

Hardly ever

Sometimes

My child gets extremely upset over seemingly small things: *

Pretty much daily

Sometimes, usually when they're really tired or overstimulated

Hardly ever

As a baby, my child was: *

Pretty easygoing -- which is odd considering how much they're struggling right now

Mostly easygoing, just like they are now

High needs -- couldn't be put down

My child takes criticism: *

Pretty well, usually

Awfully -- it leads to complete shutdown or unkind words and aggressive behaviors

Sometimes well and sometimes not-so-well, depending on their mood

When things don't go my child's way, they: *

Get intensely upset or blame me, even if I had nothing to do with what happened ("It's YOUR fault I didn't win!" or "YOU made me fall down!")

Sometimes get really upset and sometimes can take it in stride

Usually get upset for a bit but then move on

When I say no or ask my child to stop doing something, my child: *

Completely loses it -- so I find myself letting things go, or walking on eggshells, to avoid the fallout

Complains a little but eventually complies

Sometimes complies and sometimes REALLY struggles

My child's mood seems to affect the whole house. *

Very true

Sometimes true

Eh, maybe once in awhile, but not often
