Asperger's and anorexia

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

  • Thank you Daisygirl that is all great advice...I'm sorry that you are having trouble with the NHs aswell, it does seem that that mental health is seen as less important than physical health and is also less funded. I will look into a hospital autism passport and find out about the autism training of staff involved, you have given me some fab ideas for moving forward :-)
