Autism and intrusive thoughts

Mum on a mission :)
over 2 years ago

Hello,

Do any community parents have autistic children who have instrusive thoughts ?

My daughter is 13 and has recently seen our GP to discuss this.  The GP has referred her back into CAMHS. 

My daughter won’t discuss the details of these thoughts with me - she has hinted the thoughts are about death. 

Do any parents have experience of helping or supporting their child with intrusive thoughts - what should I do for the best? 

I am scared her thoughts are about suicide.

thanks in advance.

    There is a Facebook group you may find useful.

    Prof David Veale and the Oxford OCD clinic are useful avenues. But she is young and distraction mindfulness music therapy. There is an overlap with ocd and autism
