Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi all, My name is Sam and I have a 5 yr old daughter named Jasmine who has Down Syndrome, West Syndrome, ASD & Trichotillomania. We only got the ASD diagnosis back in June, so we are still reeling a bit. DS seems like an old friend in the face of this new challenge. Jazzy has also pulled out a large amount of her hair, but no-one seems to have any help or advice on that score. She isn't suitible for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as she is largely non-verbal and anti-depressants are not recommended. It seems as if we have been left to deal with this new diagnosis with the minimum of support and we don't know where to start. On the plus side, she started at a school for children with severe learning difficulties in September, which she loves. I look forward to getting to know you all.
