Yesterday we got a call from school, DD had been missing for 2 hours before they called us.
She's never gone missing from school before but occasionally will turn off her location on her phone and not answer calls if she's decided to stay out later than we've agreed.
In those two hours she's walked along a busy main road, in the pouring rain, to another town, although it is a route and town that we're familiar with, just in the car.
After a bit of gentle texting from DH she's told him where she was and I've picked her up. She was cold, wet and very upset but won't say more than "I just don't want to be there".
We've been trying to get help from the schools for possible ASD since she was 7. The tantrums are like nothing I've ever seen when she was younger and now she will react to any sort of demand, like trying to discuss if she's been revising.
Her DCousin has just been diagnosed with ASD at 17 and her DB is currently been assessed fir ADHD.
Currently she's doing mocks for her GCSES. Yesterday afternoon she should have had one, which we suspect that she hasn't done any revision for.
School have suggested keeping her off today and having a meeting with us tomorrow.
Once she's realised that there's no school today she seems happier, like nothing has happened. We played on the Wii last night altogether and she seemed pretty much like her old self.
So lovely MNers, what do we do now?
