Hi, my 12 year old autistic son is severely struggling with OCD and has also started self harming (pinching himself). He has been talking about things being contaminated for a while but it has escalated over the summer. He is constantly washing his hand, lick cleaning himself and will not touch a lot of things or people. We have only just realised it is a form of OCD.
the school have been great and are going a Cahms referral but that could take forever. I’m looking for private help for him but don’t even know where to start looking. He needs help, looking at NICE guidelines a combination of CBT, ERD and anti depressants seems to work best in high intensive therapy. But where do I go for all of this.has anyone experienced something simil
