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 could try this charity http://treatingautism.co.uk who advise on biomedical/nutritional issues, or may know of sympathetic doctors who could help. 

    I came close to being sectioned for so-called anorexia many years ago, when I realised certain foods were having weird effects and pretty much stopped eating. Won't elaborate as I don't want to indentify myself, but fortunately as an adult I was able to walk away from the medics, and dig myself out of the hole with the help of an amazingly unflappable acupuncturist, and several serendipitous charity-shop book finds about nutrition and mental health.
