Hi,
Have a recently diagnosed teenager that explains a lot of previous issues. However, in last year or two has started having more serious issues, resulting in some violent episodes such that school is currently not available, and they cant be left alone with anyone without them being informed of the history. Special school is not an ideal option either as they are very suggestible and tend to take on symptoms from others.
Some time was spent in hospital with psych etc. but they are not ready to engage in this to any real extent, and insists they arent getting any help...whereas there is just a disconnect between the help there is and what they are hoping for, a 'magic' fix.
Academically there are no problems at all, the only problems are behavioural, which are verging on psychosis (this was the reason for hospital; doc say definitely its an aspect of asd, however the teenager thinks they are incorrect)
Our options appear really limited, and Im reaching out to see if any parents might have dealt with this before and might see options that I dont see or have any advice/experience that might help.
Thanks
