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.

The front of our car was already almost half...
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 .
