Adult mental health team for phobias

Mindless haze

Hi I'm new to this so i am hoping there're will be someone who can help!

My son who has Asperger's syndrome is having input from adult mental health regarding his phobias ( stairs and agoraphobia) but they have no idea when it come to ASDs.  I try to explain how they should ask questions etc but it doesn't help. They all start with the same question 'how does it make you feel?' Argggghhhh!!!!

Is there anyway I can get him the help he needs to overcome these phobias with people who have knowledge of ADSs?

  • I can totally understand what you are saying. My son is now 23 and he hasn't had any real support since he turned 18. Not that there was that much then. 

    I do try and say do not ask him about feelings, or asking him to put hiself in someone else's situation or ask how their problems effect others. Doesn't work though as they have standard questions to ask
