Asperger's and anorexia

Lanee

does anyone have any background in young adults with Asperger's and anorexia? My D is anorexic and is under threat of being sectioned to an inpatient facility over 100 miles away. She has selective mutism, social anxieties that are off the scale and never goes out without my or family support...I don't believe that she would cope, she would completely shut down...she needs help but not like this, any ideas if there is anyone I can turn to for help? Thank you

    You have an awful dilemma here and my thoughts are with you. you have an awful, gut wrenching choice to make. If they are contemplating this extreme action then I assume that she is in extreme, i.e. mortal, danger. Is it possible that this course of action stands some chance when all other remedies have failed?

    What alternatives do you have? Presumably the place that they want to take her to is a very specialised unit where they have some understanding of the mental place that she has got to.
