Dear All,
Please forgive me if i am not in the right section. I have a twenty year old son who i thought at the time was experiencing mental health issues but our Doctor is sure my son has Aspergers. I first thought she was not correct but after reading the website and doing my own research i think she could be onto something. He will be assessed next week.
Back ground info -
My son has always been a loner,always happy to be on his own. When he was a toddler he would get very angry if another child tried to play with. My son does not like being touched by anyone. He gets very anxious if he has to go out socially and takes medication prescribed by the doctor to help but 9/10 he cancels. He spends alot of time in his room, when he is on his own he is happy. He is very intelligent he went to a grammar school and came out of school with 14 GCSE'S and 5 A levels all at good grades. He is training to be a pharmacist and this he loves. He reads books on this and goes on websites as a hobbie. He gets very angry if he is touched or you disturb him. He does have outbursts of anger which the doctor is concerned about. As a child he had speech therapy but all other milestones he did before he should. He could read and write before he went to school.
Can any advice if they are going through the same?
Many Thanks in advance.
