Hello

Hi, I am a parent of a 15 year old boy, who has recently been diagnosed with aspergers, he went through school fairly normally other than problems with english, ie spellings, writing, he had lots of friends although shy with adults, suddenly outta the blue he refussed to go to school two years ago and has refused to leave the house ever since except for the occassional walk with dog in the dark, was wondering if anyone else has simllar experience and any advice how to deal with x

  • My daughter has refused to go to school since November a month after her 13th bday.  I'm not sure if it would have happened if I had moved her school/house etc but it did.

    Is your son getting some help?  I'd like to think after two years, he has some support of some sort.  I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you two years on.  My own daughter finds it easier to go out further afield.  She doesn't like going into our own town centre for fear of bumping into people that ask her questions.
