LabPet thank you ever so much for the concern, it really means a lot. So many people don't understand what a person with Autism is going through as well as Parents and siblings. I have taken her to may professionals in the field of Autism, from Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Pschologists etc but now being referred back to the one I started off with. I am in the process of moving to the UK (the whole family) and hoping that there will be more available to her there. It is tiring for us as Parents as we have 3 year old too and can't spend anytime together as a family outside of the house. Also having to watch her whenever she is awake and when awake at night, that too means I have to be awake to ensure she does not hurt herself. The 12 hour flight is seriously stressing me out too and think the only option will be to completely sedate her. Not what I want to do, but don't see any other way as she would tear the plane apart...not sure if there are any ideas on this?
I will continue to seek help for her. Sometimes I want to give up as I am just so exhaused, but my daughter means the world to me and her happiness in number 1.
Really appreciate all the comments and suggestions!
