I am a mum of 3. 2 boys 22 and 20 (eldest is diagnosed with Asppergers), 12 years old daughter not diagnosed but suspected. We have got through the early years with my eldest 2 but now my Dd has started secondary school and she has fallen apart. She cries daily and even phones me from school. I am going back to the doctors for help but can’t see a solution anytime soon and she is falling apart. Feeling quite desperate at the moment with no easy fix.
