Our 29 year old Autistic, transgender daughter is stuck in the none to defense mode about 95% of the time. Her neuro-crashes can be pretty scary and we were advised to use community resources to help us de-escalate situations. The police just put her in jail over night and charged her with a misdemeanor, and the next time we used the mobile crisis team that never came. The judge ordered her to follow a mental health treatment plan put together by her therapist for a year and then everything would go away. The therapist placed her in a residential program to get her off substances, alcohol and marijuana. She has been there for 3 weeks. The therapist contacted me and stated she is so shut down and in defense mode that treatment has become ineffective. She states she wants to have nothing to do with us, but home is her only option. So, we don't know what to do next to help her there or at home. If anyone can help us we would appreciate it.
