Hello

Hello

I have a (nearly) 15 year old son with Aspergers.  He was only diagnosed recently at the same time as he was treated for depression. He began missing more and more school in Year 7 and Year 8 as he became more and more stressed and struggled with OCD and became house bound for a time.

He tried on line learning, but was not motivated.  He was determined to get back into school this year. (He is now in Year 10).  He managed a few weeks, but is falling back into the old pattern of managing a few days and then crashing out. He has gaps in his timetable where he can go and get away in a quieter area, but he is still finding it hard. I am worried that he will make himself ill again and don't know what to do for the best.

    Thank you for your reply.  I know what you mean about the stress from being surrounded by people with no escape from them.  I will certainly suggest being in just the first part of lessons and see what they say.

    It sounds as if you have been through such a lot and your advice about what might help is really appreciated.

    I work in a Junior school as a TA and was thinking about what I could do to help our Aspergers children. After reading your reply I'm guessing that a safe quiet place would be the best thing I could provide at lunch, so thanks again.

    Best wishes
