Hi all
my 12 year old daughter is really struggling. For the past 18 months she’s sufferrd with terrible anxiety, but it’s much more then that. I have never been able to hug her. But it’s getting worse I can’t even put my hand on her back or comfort her. Noise is becoming a real problem too and a lot of other things that are pointing towards her being on the scale somewhere. She doesn’t have any speech problems and no problems with learning, she really quite intelligent and articulate, she’s such a talented drawer!
We have CAHMS involved, but they are no help at all. The lady we see from CAHMS says she can’t be autistic because she can have a conversation about relationships within the family!! I’ve never heard anything like it!
School have been brilliant, she doesn’t go to all her lessons, she spends most of her time in inclusion, and the inclusion team are amazing, but a new member had joined whilst one is off on maternity and has took over the whole thing, and she makes it very obvious she doesn’t like us,or the fact she spends slot of time in inclusion and is just focused on getting her to class regardless of her meltdowns. My daughter gets so stressed she punches herself badly in the head, slaps herself pulls her hair etc. I’ve got a meeting next Thursday with CAHMS and I’m going to really push for an something more to be done, I want her assessed, but I feel like nobody is listening. I have her at the GPtoday to ask if they could do something.
i guess I just would love some advice/info on how I can move forward and get people to listen?? If I’m wrong so be it, but she’s my child and I know somethings not right, and I’ll keepgoing until someone’s listening.
Is there something more I should be doing? Should I be asking for something else?is there somewhere else I can go to get help??
Thanks so much
