    Wow. That really resonates with me when I think of my dtr. She often talks (and worries++) about how she will manage adult things. She puts herself at risk, perhaps to feel less like a little kid? Thank you Mia.

    Looking for insight: episode at night

    I truly appreciate your input. I agree that this should be taken seriously. I called our local distress line at the time of the incident, but they were only able to suggest taking my dtr to the hospital ER. I'm a healthcare professional there, and didn't want to add to her already stressed...

    Looking for insight: episode at night

    She has previously sought dark, small spaces in which to hide. Again, I only found out she was doing this by accident, when she didn't answer my call that dinner was ready. I wondered whether this was sort of an amped up version of that behaviour, which she said she did "without thinking" when...

    Looking for insight: episode at night

    Late last night, I inadvertently discovered that my 15 year old dtr had climbed out of (a very secure) window in her bedroom. She was wearing slippers and thought to take a small back pack with several items in it. She was walking through a sub urban area for an unknown amount of time before...

    Feels like a day for celebration!

    I wholeheartedly agree! Maybe that is why I feel like celebrating. I remember very clearly holding my dtr's hand and telling her that I would never stop trying to help her. That was on an evening several years ago when she was in such despair that she wanted to end her life. At last, I feel...

    Feels like a day for celebration!

    This is a 'hello again' from Maiki! I've been away from this community for a couple of years now. The big news is that today-- after 13 years of research, advocating, seeking assessments-- my 15 yo received a formal dx of ASD. Validation! :tearsofjoy: I have believed this since she was 2 yo...
