Does anyone else have experience of their child hiding in her room and not wanting anyone to see her? She's going through puberty/body changes and I think that's got a lot to do with it. She's as yet undiagnosed (been waiting nearly 2 years for an assessment). She's not attending school. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? Thanks :-)
I’m a mum of a 14 year old who is similar. She has not been in school since Christmas. We are waiting for an assessment on the umbrella pathway, debating whether to go private. High school is too much. School have applied for an EHCP. Her friends she had she doesn’t see anymore, she won’t initiate any contact. She’s very isolated. She doesn’t want to be home schooled. She hides in her bedroom if anyone is in the house. We seem to be a bit in the wilderness. She gets overwhelmed when we try to talk to her CAMHS rejection twice despite doctor saying she needs an assessment. Third attempt she has been referred to WEST but I don’t know what support that is and so far no appointment. The system seems so broken. My anxious little girl needs help
