Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
So my 3 year old is non verbal autistic. She has been showing signs of being scared of her father (who gets her every other weekend). She will not go to him only his girlfriend and stiffness up if he touches her, she also cries on the way to exchanges but always excited to see me when she comes back. When she comes back she is terrified to leave me even for Pre K and she has started to touch herself. Her therapist said she can't do anything since there is a court order that he gets her every other weekend. My lawyer said since she doesn't talk that she has to show physical signs of abuse before he can help. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this? I have had DCS in the past and he manipulated them and she was almost taken from me. I feel so worthless not being able to help her when she has to go.

I have 3 kids. 24. 17. 15. My 17 yr old has become super defiant. He and his 15 yr old sister have on their own decision stopped going to their dads because he and his household is so toxic.My 15 yr old and myself feel like we have to tip toe around my son who is 17. And physically towers over us and out weighs us. He has become emotionally abusive and on the verge of becoming physically...
Based on what you said you have to follow up on this, either with her Pre-K teacher or DHS. Even if she's non-verbal they have ways of questioning a child and you should be present to protect her. If what you're saying is right then do not make her see him any more .
