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

  • the psychologist is seperate but works alongside her mental health team who got her involved. I understand England isn't terrible but, she would be a long way from home and I cannot afford to travel or stay there for prolonged periods of time and that's what worries me. The logistics are difficult and I want her to feel safe, and to have the best care possible. Wales is struggling but that shouldn't mean that I give up and stop fighting for the help she needs here. It's a very worrying time and I hope there is some middle ground that can be met with her care team :-)
