Hey. I'm Charlotte, I have autism which is a recent diagnosis I just turned 16 and am struggling to make sense of everything. Not much support and it's very much like I've been dropped in the wild and have to figure out how to survive lol.
My sister also has autism she was diagnosed before me. We went to the same school and every day was the same she had a meltdown and refused to go in. She would hit the fence, doors, teachers and bite herself. She hurt herself a lot. In the end it became a daily thing that I had to go out and talk to her and get her inside which I managed to do she trusts me. But I finished school now and she's on her own and is really struggling, she's been unable to go in since school started again and my family and I aren't really sure what to do to help her. School aren't being helpful at all going on about her attitude and attendance. She's actually a very lovely girl but when she's upset she does lose it, she can't help it. I'm the same if I'm taken out of my comfort zone in a big way.
I've suggested she take her comfort bear with her but my mum is worried she'll be bullied.
Bit lost at what to do about this situation.
