advice about 11 year old anxiety

allyballybee

Hi

i am new here and looking for some advice from those that may have experienced..my 11 year old son has aspergers, pretty mild, in fact one diagnosis said that he didnt have, however in past year he has started to experience real anxiety about ANY sort of change...from going out on a trip, going on holiday, pretty much anything that doesnt involve being in the house doing the things he is used to etc... he is in last year of primary and is already in pieces thinking about going to secondary school....(so am i but not telling him that). he wont even go and visit his dad up north as he hates travelling and worries about what he may do or not do and being able to do things etc..

is this somthing that others have experienced with their kids and any advice?

thanks!

  • Try using a social story first - they have worked well for our 9 year-old son.  Fear of the unknown is the biggest thing with kids on the spectrum (however mild they are).  A social story can be written down, putting your child into the story.  For more advice on social stories, try asking the National Autistic Society - they may have some information they can send you. 

    All the best for your son in secondary.
