Hi all, Daughter 14 is currently under assesment for ASC. I Have other children already diagnosd but they were diagnosed much earlier as it has been much more obvious with them. We have been waiting for what seems like forever for some help from CAHMS. My daughter is incredibly unhappy at the moment, her self asteem is at absolute rock bottom and shes finding the school environment difficult. Its absolutley heartbreaking. She says shes a freak, and a bad person, and that nobody likes her and we have had a bout of self harming. Shes refusing to participate in school and gets incredibly frustrated. School pretty rubbish just keep complaining about her behaviour yet not put anything in place to help her cope any better even though i have explained the family history of ASC seem to need a diagnosis to want to help.
CAHMS messed up and cancelled last 2 appointments even though we waited forever for them . Yet again just phoned to cancel another appiontment. She already feels that no one really gives a damn, how on earth do i explain they cancelled on her again. I feel so useless, i cant seem to make her feel any better. she is such a beautifull intelligent young lady and a really good person. Anyone else gone through this, any suggestions and any advice is welcome.
