    pls help said:

    i wil look into NAS thank you he was under cams sice 6 its them whos closed his file as "theres nothing they can do for him" its behavioural not medical. to be honest i dont know what he knows to be honest he knows hes different but his temper has got too much for me to handle

    As i understand it, camhs don't just deal with ASD by doling out medication, they would also provide CBT or other counselling, advice and assistance. Perhaps it may be worth having another referral from your gp?

    Doesn't he really need to understand his ASD? Haven't you discussed this with him?

    Most 15 year old boys will want to spread their wings by going out with their mates on summer evenings. This doesn't necessarily mean that he will turn into a delinquent. My youngest (not asd) went through this and didn't come to any harm. The worst that happened was he brought home a stop and search notice from the local police! It didn't last long and he didn't get any deeper into trouble. He's now finished a degree and is on to a PhD.

    is he just being a rebellious teen or do you think there is something worse going on?
