Hi all
Just wondering how ye all dealt with the news of your diagnosis . My recently diagnosed daughter has become very withdrawn , spending virtually all her time in her room , sleeping or on netflix . Her sleep has got very bad , she has sound and light issues and her sensory issues seems to have got worse since the break from school or her diagnosis . She cant spend much time in other peoples company , even her family as the noises drive her insane . She has stopped interacting on social media , which may be A good thing , im not sure ? as she masks so much , which has led to loads of missed time from school . I am leaving her in her room , bringing her food and having short engagments with her and have encouraged her to get up for small periods during the day but very gentle encouragement . I dont know if she is depressed or shutdown or both but i dont know if my approach is correct ? Will she come out of this reclusive episode herself or should i do something else ? She doesnt want to go back to school or see anyone from school as she dislikes them all. Any prespective on the situation is welcome
