my 23 year old daughter has aspergers and Tourette’s and her behaviour is awful and I am really struggling to cope! She lives at home with me and her dad and our dogs (we have two older daughters also but they have moved out). It’s quite unlikely that she will ever live independently. She is always talking (a lot of the things she says don’t make sense) and needs a lot of supervising. She constantly touches hot things in the kitchen and burns herself and constantly does things that I have asked her not to do (such as feeding the dogs jam or syrup and chasing the dogs around the house) and she hardly sleeps so we’re up a lot of the night with her. She cannot organise herself and it takes her hours to get ready to go anywhere because she is constantly distracted and goes off task. She has no concept of danger and will step out in the road a lot when cars are coming. She has worked two mornings a week in a small shop for the last 5 years so that’s the only real break I get from her apart from when she goes to her tourettes group twice a month. She can be rude and argues a lot with absolutely everybody. Her sisters hardly ever come home as a result of this. She’ll stand outside jumping up and down at the window waving to us for ages while we’re trying to read or watch tv. Also she is so difficult with her food and will only eat a small range of foods (she makes herself sick a lot after eating). She is currently with the mental health team and sees a cpn every two weeks but they are not really offering any support and they criticise me a lot saying that she hasn’t been parented well. I’m really not sure what to do anymore and would really appreciate any advice from anyone who has been through anything similar. I love my daughter so much but I just feel desperate now!
