Searching for scary image

NAS23822

Hi, my Daughter is 12 years old and was diagnosed with Autism at 4 years old.  She has developed  over the last 12 months or so a huge fear of Wonka and everything associated with it.  For the past two days she keeps searching for a certain image which is when the girl turns into a blueberry and this makes her shake. cry and even made her physically sick last night.  She keeps searching the images and when I ask her why she says her brain is telling her to do it.  Has anyone had any similar experiences as I am at a loss as to what to do.  Thank you

  • Hi there. To me this sounds like an auditory hallucination. I’m not qualified to say but I was told by the psychologist I saw at the time when I was 16yrs old. I still suffer with these voices myself. I find the best thing to do is to distract with something completely different with whatever is disturbing. Maybe try and get her to listen to some music, or play some games or go out for a walk or something. I know it’s easier said than done and I hope your daughter will get over this soon. Keep telling her that turning into a blueberry is not possible IRL! Must admit that film isn’t my kind of film anyway and scared me as a kid too.
