Hi there, my daughter was diagnosed with autism and sensory processing disorder 3 years ago, it all got a lot worse once she started puberty, I always knew she had autism but I found it incredibly difficult to get a diagnosis. Since my daughters body changed she started to hide, it’s been over a year now since I actually seen her, she’s almost 14 now and hides completely under a thick blanket and won’t let anyone into her room unless she’s completely covered, things got really bad 3 years ago so she’s never been able to attend high school. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if anyone has any advice, I’ve mentioned to her health care team that I do suspect some kind of body dysmorphia but then again, getting answers these days isn’t easy. Advice, tips and any similar stories would be much appreciated.
Thanks
