Hi all, my tween dd 11 is going through hell and I have no idea how to help. She's currently on the waitlist to explore a asd assessment. Her behaviours were picked up by the school senco this year, who pushed a referral and I feel guilty everyday for not noticing anything sooner. She's struggling with friends, the academic side of schooling and just life in general. She sobs and sobs about anything and everything. I throw what I can at her moneywise, like trendiest clothes, newest devices, cool experiences to try and help her feel like she's doing "tween girl right" but she is so down and miserable. I spend as much free time as I can with her, and have nightly "girl chats". But she just tells me she dosent know why she's so upset/crying. She literally can't stop once something upsets her. I'm heartbroken for her and struggling to know what to do. School and gp both just say it could be the asd, no coping techniques seem to work. Her mental health is on the floor and so is mine tbh. I just don't know what to do, anyone been in a similar position? Was there light at the end of the tunnel

Stop buying her stuff and spend it on therapy.
