Hello

Lost

I'm new to using forums like this, not sure what to expect to get from this but thought it was time to talk to other people.

I have a 24  year old daughter with Aspergers, ODC, sever depression, and tantrums that have been becoming more violent lately.

At the moment life is rubbish, no help from GP or psychiatrists. She lives at home, so we get no break from her, she doesn't go out and hasn't slept for a whole since the day she was born.

So i thought I would join the community and see if anyone has any advice or just somewhere where I could come and chat to other people who might be going through similar things to us.

Thanks for reading this.

  • Hi - autismtwo is right.  Especially with the cuts in local government social services depts,  those who don't push things to the limit are likely to get fobbed off.  I don't know how far you've pushed things, but I do know they respond to crises.  What does your daughter want for her future.  Would she like to live independently with a level of support?  At some point in the future you may not be able to support her at home so I think it's worth having the discussion with her.  Apologies if you've already done or tried to do this.
