Hi everyone,I'm Lee and have a 17yr old daughter diagnosed with ASD at the age of 3. Over the last 4 years her condition has deteriorated, culminating in a series of breakdowns during the last 18 months which is now being controlled with Lorazapam. Having no family or friends to turn to for moral support has become the most difficult part of coping. I hope that in time we can find a way to bring some light back into our difficult lives.
