Hi, I am new to the world of parenting a child with autism. My daughter is 12 and was only diagnosed is January this year. She struggles with major anxiety and school refusal and these have been a big part of her diagnosis.
She started her period last month (March) and although she knew this would be something that would happen to her, she has not taken it well or accepted it at all. She keeps telling me that she doesn’t want it and I feel completely helpless as I cannot do anything to take it away. She gets so upset about going to school and has missed school when she had her first period and is currently not at school as she is having her second period.
I would really appreciate some advice and support for her and myself.
thank you
