ASD and ADHD Child Behaviour Diary

A Daily Behaviour Tracker to Help Parents Understand Triggers, Monitor Progress, Support Emotional Regulation, and Build Positive Behaviour

Are you struggling to understand why your child behaves differently from one day to the next? Do you want a simple, practical way to identify behaviour patterns, recognise triggers, and celebrate progress?

The ASD and ADHD Child Behaviour Diary is a thoughtfully designed daily companion for parents, carers, grandparents, teachers, and professionals supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or both.

Understanding behaviour is the first step towards creating positive change. This easy-to-use behaviour diary helps you record important daily observations, identify patterns over time, and build effective strategies that support your child's emotional wellbeing, communication, and development.

Whether you're preparing for appointments with healthcare professionals, meeting with teachers, working towards an EHCP, or simply wanting to better understand your child's needs, this diary provides an organised way to track behaviours and monitor progress.

Inside this Behaviour Diary, you'll find:

Daily behaviour tracking pages

• Antecedent–Behaviour–Consequence (ABC) recording templates

• Behaviour trigger identification

• Emotional regulation monitoring

• Mood and feelings check-ins

• ADHD focus and attention tracking

• Autism sensory observation logs

• Positive behaviour and achievement records

• Reward and positive reinforcement tracking

• Parent reflection pages

• Goal-setting worksheets

• Space for school and therapist

Over time, these records can become an invaluable resource, helping parents and professionals recognise trends, identify effective interventions, and make informed decisions about support strategies.

This diary has been designed using a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach, encouraging parents to recognise not only challenges but also the many strengths, achievements, and positive moments that children with ADHD and autism demonstrate every day.

Whether your child has recently received a diagnosis or you've been navigating this journey for years, this behaviour diary provides a practical and organised system for supporting their development while reducing stress for the whole family.

Understanding behaviour today can help build a brighter tomorrow.
