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

  • She has been in a very bad place for five years now, she had very little help under CAHMs and this has contributed to the place she is in now. she is receiving help from a psychologist who specialises in eating disorders and has started to make slow progress and I would rather this course of action had time to develop before she is traumatised by being taken so far away. Between the Asperger's and the anorexia life is very difficult for her and us as a family, but I still believe she will improve more quickly at home with the right input than in a unit far from home, and I will continue to fight for her to stay at home, although soon the decision may be taken out of my hands.
