My Teenage Aspie won't leave the house

My daughter has recently been diagnosed as high functioning autistic. Something we always knew despite being told otherwise.

She he started secondary school this year and everything has gotten much worse. Her anxiety has gone into overdrive. The school are useless and after many battles with the school we have had to withdrawn her completely.  They won't give her quite time, shout at her for little eye contact. It is all too much for her. We will be home schooling her from September. The biggest issue is getting her up and out the house. she doesn't want to wash(which I understand) but this is worse as a young female she has started her period and she won't use any sanitary products even though we have shown her, we have soiled knickers, bedding etc... she just doesn't care.

she used to like swimming, doing photography, reading but since secondary school she has completely withdrawn.... Doesn't want to do anything,just sleep. She won't go out and if we do Get her out she is so stressed just cries . I've tried explains were we are going but nothing helps.... Like her, now feel trapped in the house.

she won't join a club of any type. 

Has no interest in anything

i am hoping her stress will go away now she knows she doesn't have to go back to school 

Has any one got any ideas?

    thank you for the reply. It gives me hope that she will get through this when i hear from people like yourself. 

    It has also given me a few more things to think about and try. 

    I have tried different products but will try placing them in different places...this might help. 

    She doesnt seems to have an issue getting in the shower once i can convince her to wash, but the overal temperature is one I  have not considered so will try to talk to her about this. 

    cheers
