This is my first post so not sure how this works or how much success with my issues will I receive.... but here goes.
I have a 14 year old daughter, SEN registered since she was 3 years old, goes to a Special Needs School in London, is non-verbal and incontinent. We were advised to "pump" her body with steroids to prolong her puberty and we refused. However over the past 18 months we have started to note that she is constantly putting her hands in her "genital" area and we "made peace" with the issue due to the precarious P. But our concern now is that this is going to happen anyways, I mean puberty. Can anyone advise of their experience with an autistic non verbal daughter who has had to go through puberty? What can we do as parents to support her. She must be in pain and we are helpless... We cannot support our daughter. This is the worst issue I have had to deal with since she was born..... Questioning my religion, ethics, knowledge, everything.....
