Help needed

Lost

I have a daughter who is 24, Aspergers, OCD, has tantrums and hits out and severe depression and on anti-depressants. We get no help from anyone, she's never slept through a whole night, she's got a degree but because she's seen as intelligent, which she is, the medical profession don't care or want to help in anyway.

Basically I have never been on these forums before but I need advice on who to turn to what help we can get, how to cope.

  • Hello Lost. I am 25 years old, have Aspergers, OCD and severe anxiety, although fortunately no depression. I receive help from my local Autism charity - most places have them. Do you have one? I receive specialist help from Autism support workers, who have helped me secure a part-time job, do voluntary work, go on outings, and overcome my fears. Your doctor or mental health team should be able to provide you with information about services. Has your daughter had a community care assessment? Does she still live at home? I have also done a degree, and have tantrums now and again; I think it is because, while intellectually I am an adult, emotionally I am still a child!
