So my daughter, 15, has recently been officially diagnosed as autistic. Part of her problem is germs and she has ocd tendencies and regiments she must follow. Her poor hands bleed where she washes them so much. Its getting worse and more and more things are having to be cleaned. I'm sure if I should call.the doctor for help as I'm aware he can't just give her a magic cure. We are usually given self help websites ect but these have little effect on her. I'm thinking she may need a therapist or similar but I'm unsure if this is something the doctor could help organise.
Any help would be wonderful.
