My daughter is 18. She has been suffering with anorexia and body dysmorphia since she was 13. Academically she is exceptionally able but has always struggled socially. She has only recently, in the last year, had the Asperger's diagnosis. She is devastated about and cannot accept it. Her meltdowns have increased and her eating has severely deteriorated. She is refusing to receive any support. Is anybody else experiencing a similar situation?
I have two autistic daughters. One has an eating disorder, although both accepted their diagnosis.
I think what would help is a peer contact. some support group of other autistic girls. Does she have an EHCP?
