Hi, my 10 year old daughter has just this week been diagnosed with autism. She has lots of fears and phobias but the main one is herself or anyone else being sick. A girl in class at school was sick this was back in may and she hasn’t been to school since then because of this. Her anxiety has since then became 10x worse, around 4 weeks ago my daughter was poorly during the night, she felt sick didn’t say that but I know her too well. Anyway since then she now won’t sleep upstairs and I’ve been sleeping on a mattress downstairs with her. I’m absolutely exhausted. Has anyone else had anything like this before? I’m at a loss with what I can do to make things better. She has therapy once a week already with someone from cyps, but my daughter won’t even mention the word sick or speak about it, she’s terrified. So it’s limited to what we can speak about other wise she will just shut down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
