My daughter is 15 years old and when she was born she was nine weeks early. She was given a diagnosis at two years old of global developmental delay and the doctors would never consider autism even though I thought she was showing signs. She had problems with speech and walking but with therapy these have improved. She has caught up really well and is in mainstream school. But since puberty there have been growing problems, she refuses to wash or look after any aspect of personal hygiene. She has panic attacks and is anxious a lot. She only has three friends and doesn’t want to socialise. She won’t give anyone eye contact. The school have been giving her SEN support twice a week but I don’t know if I’m making a big thing out of it or if it’s just normal. My second child is six and was diagnosed with autism aged three he has a EHC Plan and attends a special needs school. Any advice would’ve helpful
