Hi all - I’m new here and hoping for some ideas. Our daughter is nearly 13 and was diagnosed in August. For nearly a year now she’s been developing ritualistic behaviours like tapping in 3s and switching devices on and off over again. Lately we can barely get in a room behind her because she’s tapping the door handle for ages on both sides.
CAMHS mental health finally got back to us with an appointment for her but we don’t know how to broach it with her, because it feels like the rituals are a lifeline to her. How can we bring up this appointment when she’s so nervous about talking to professionals and doesn’t seem to see this as an issue? She’s very shouty at the moment when she feels defensive.
All ideas gratefully received - thank you!
