Hello, My daughter is 21 and is on the high end of the spectrum. I have been seeing so much about how those on the spectrum can be in defense mode. After reading up about what defense mode is, I realized that my daughter demonstrates every symptom of being in defense mode. She stays in her room at all times. She won't really talk much (though she can hold a conversation). She is extremely private, even with me, and won't tell anyone what is going on with her. There are many more things. She is on medication, and she is also in counseling. I don't know how to get her out of defense mode. Can anyone share with me how to even start?
