Advice/help needed!!!!!!

Bo_22

HI!

I am aware that Aspy sufferers have obsessions and as a family we understand this and have accepted that as a fact!

My little bro is attached to his laptop and will sit on this ALL day ALL night playing on his games. He is only happy when doing his favourite thing BUT he is not doing his homework and is falling behind at school because of this.

Tonight, he suddenly remembered he has a piece of home work to be done for tomorrow.. had all the weekend to do this.

My mum tends to 'mother' him which is obviously what shes there for!.. to the point she baths him, packs his school bag etc - he is 12 years of age, Because of this homework I took his laptop OFF him and he has gone bazzerk... abnormally bazzerk in a way i have never seen him behave before - Head shaking, slight violance, growling, screaming, crying etc.. it broke my heart to do this but he has done his homework.

So - are we being to soft on him because we are aware if his syndrome?

  • Hi Bo_22,

    Just wanted to move this discussion over the education section, since the homework seems to be the key topic here for now. I hope you don't mind but in that area you may find more people with similar experiences may be able to provide some advice or their own experiences.

    You may also want to have a look through the Education and the Living on the Spectrum area where homework and time spent on computers has come up a few times. As well as seeing who is able to respond to you, these other discussions might be helpful as well.

    Our Parent to Parent Service may also be helpful for you or your family. It'll put you in touch with other parents who've been trained to provide advice and support to parents and carers. Could be that they can help share different views on how to deal with the issues you're facing now.
