Help for my daughter

Hi I'm looking for help for my daughter who has asd. She's 24 but still very childlike and was a sweet girl, always kind and friendly. Over the last couple of years there's been a lot of stress in the family, at the time my daughter seemed to cope well but in the last couple of months she's changed and now I'm very worried. She told me she hears voices. There horrible to her apparently. She has also become very violent. She tried to strangle her sister and she screams and shouts if you go into her room or into her space. And the last couple of days she's not recognizing me or the family or where she is. She thinks she's in a prison and we're her guards. And she says that demons are after her. Is all this part of her autism? How can I help her through this? I'm just really worried and don't know what to do. Please help.

  • She mentioned she's on a waiting list. I think any mum would be beside themselves. The daughter is autistic and autism and schizophrenia are related. It's good she posted here. People are easily gaslit nto believing the their perceptions and imaginations are not worth-while. It cannot hurt to get affirmation that this is a matter of grave consequence.
