Hi, I’m new on here & really hope someone can offer some advice. My daughter received her ASD diagnosis at age 13 & as a single parent I had to navigate my way learning as I went. Her dad was never interested interested, even telling me he didn’t want to discuss autism but would look it up on the internet.
At 16 she went to live with her dad who claims she no longer has any traits & is independent & ready for university life. She has been in contact with me less & less and today told me that she wants to cut all ties with me & doesn’t want me in her life anymore. Prior to this we were having a relaxed conversation, smiling & reminiscing, suddenly she switched to a complete lack of emotion to deliver the news, but left smiling again.
I am at a complete loss at what to do next. She has blocked all of my contact, removed herself from anyone associated with me & appears to think that because she has not seen people for over 12 months (due to COVID) it no longer matters if they are in her life or not.
has anyone had any similar experiences or any advice.
