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, hope things are going okay at the moment. Just wanted to let you know in more detail about the different services we currently run if you did need any further support.

    Here's how our Information and Advice services are organised -

    The Autism Helpline: For people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, family members and carers, offering impartial and confidential advice, information and support around autism and related issues, including local support and services, diagnosis, early intervention, therapies and behaviour management. People can also book telephone appointments with our Welfare Rights and Community Care services via the Autism Helpline.

    NAS Welfare Rights Service: Providing advice, information and support on all aspects of social security benefit entitlement. This includes advice on benefit entitlement, general advice on completing claim forms, what to do if a decision is wrong and how to appeal to a tribunal

    NAS Community Care Service: Providing advice and information on accessing support from local authorities and health services, Individual and Personal Budgets, transition, support and care plans, and how to make complaints.

    NAS Parent to Parent Service: Our confidential telephone service providing emotional support for parents and carers of an adult or child on the autism spectrum. A message can be left on the 24 hour answer phone and a volunteer will then call back as soon as possible, at a time which suits, including evenings and weekends

    NAS Education Rights Service: Providing information advice and support on educational provision and entitlements throughout the UK. Our trained volunteers will guide parents and carers through education law and support them through what can often be a complex and difficult process. They also help parents prepare appeals to educational tribunals.

    So if you haven't had the chance already and would still like to speak to someone it may be best to call the Autism helpline and see if they can talk through the situation you're in with your brother.
