My almost 14 year old daughter has made amazing progress in the last few years. She is in mainstream school and manages to go for the majority of time. However her stress and anxiety levels often mean she is unable to go in. She also has great difficulties with sleep.
She has always resisted any kind of input from the school or outside bodies (scarred from the years of intervention leading up to diagnosis, with added shame about her autism). But she is maturing, is happily ‘owning’ her Autism and is willing to talk to a therapist outside of school.
Does anyone have experience with this or can direct me to the best place to find a private therapist? Feels pointless going to CAMHS right now as she’ll just go on a long wait list and I’m keen to strike while she is agreeable.
Thank you everyone!
