Thanks for all your answers, lots to think about 
I do have some concerns about the mil to be honest. I cant seem to get much out of my daughter about why she doesnt want to go, she says its because she "misses me" but I dont believe thats the real reason. |

| I think she enjoys it when she gets there, although she doesn't ever tell me anything about it so I only have Grandmas opinion on that. I think I will try to cut out the sleep overs and just stick to visits as a family, but like you say its not going to be easy to break the cycle :? She does think s... |

| I can relate. My in-laws are also in denial. It used to make me really mad but I've learned there's nothing I can do or say to change it. But I can protect my kid, and that's what I do. He loves them now, but when he was younger he didn't. I would start with your husband. Does he see your daughter ... |

| You cant force a person to like something they aren't interested in whether they are AS, NT or otherwise. Its just not going to work. I'm sure its much more productive to allow him to concentrate on something he enjoys like computer programming which will probably end up his career. |

| I actually have a similar problem but the other way around, I'm the NT parent and I am trying to parent my AS DD5 differently to allow for her problems but my AS husband still wants her to just get over some of her problems. For example she is getting more anxious about going to visit family, I thin... |

Its also worth doing an extensive google for everything to do with AS and how t... |

| Welcome to the forum :) I find this place very useful. I have a 5yo daughter currently being assessed for AS. Its taken a long time to get through to the right person, we got no help from the GP so had to go through several different people to get to where we should be. We are now with Midlands Psyc... |

| I understand. Well, have you tried social stories and role play to kind of prepare her between visits and give her confidence. My son hates to leave the house. He has finally gotten to where it is not such a big deal when he has been there before and it is not when he feel "entitled" to be home, bu... |

| Do you really have to let her have unsupervised visitation? Is your husband insistent? Easy for me to say, but can you make him deal with the consequences and put your foot down and say he can't schedule it unless he is the one to deal with your daughter not wanting to go? Also, does your daughter ... |

| Oh wow, this sounds familiar. No idea how to fix it, but you're definitely not alone. For my four year old it is my step-mom, his Mimi, that causes this reaction. He will scream and beg not to go, cry when she comes to get him. As soon as he is over there, though, he is fine. He loves their big hou... |

Every time Grandma (my mother in law, who is in denial about the AS) wants to have her its organised between her and my husband. My husband goes away a lot for work a... |
