I have a son with autism. OCD just goes along with the diagnosis. I can't stress enough to you that anyone around her needs to understand that her fears are VERY real to her. She can't help herself!!

I was against medicating at first until his doctor told me "As long as you medicate the child FOR the child, not yourself or those around him, you are doing the right thing"

Bless her little heart. I hope you can find some relief for her.
