Hi Folks hoping some other parent has been in the same position as me. I am getting very frustrated with myself for being unable to help my adult child in thier late 20's . I now believe quite strongly he is on the autistic spectrum. He is isolated, has rigorous routines (I can set my watch by him) and will not detract from them. Does notcommunicate with all of us, sits in bedroom, gets in to a blind panic when i make him eat at the table on a few occassions, loves words, super intelligent etc etc....but I cannot find a way to get him to come to the docs with me. He will chat and play with our dog...who I actually got because I read that sufferers would 'communicate ' with animals. I am hoping someone has had this experiance and may be able to help me , offer me guidance or point me to some group who may be able to help.
Oh and he will talk when he is on the phone.!
thanks for reading.
Thanks Pixie fox. Last time i mentioned to him he became angry (about 18months ago) and retreated to his room. He barely comes out of there except to eat ...no friends, no work, doesn't sign on, only responds to the dogs and loves long long lists of words! He is mega intelligent. Hos brother says hes weird and does not bother with him but I know he has all the characteristics of his cousins but deeper.
Im lost as to what to do.
