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

  • Understandably my d is terrified of being somewhere far from her home...she will be unable to communicate how she is feeling as she will not be able to speak, and I will be worried that this will be seen as non compliance, also there are many foods she cannot eat due to her autism because of the texture, colour etc and this was present before she was anorexic, and again I'm worried that this will not be taken into account. I feel I am in an awful situation of wanting to help and protect my d but also knowing that she needs intensive help if she is ever to get this insidious disease under control :-(
