Hi all,
I have never really used this forum or others before but beside myself after a terrifically challenging day. My daughter was diagnosed with autism in recent months and currently is struggling with Coronavirus, lockdown, change in routine etc. She has been angry, threatening and so attacking to me and her sister and I know that much of this is the distress she is experiencing. I feel completely helpless as a mum and when I contacted the team who diagnosed was sent an action plan to help give her a timetable which feels very basic as we had already done this. My daughter is 9 and is saying she does not want to be here, threatened to get a knife and stab me in my sleep - I am so concerned for her and for us too as this is so distressing for all. Feeling so very sad.
Thank you for listening
