Advice

Son diagnosed 18 months ago with Autism,10 years old and spends all day in his room playing his pc.We were told to allow this as its his window to the world, but over the last 2 months he seems to be getting worse.my sons autism is noticeable in the social side of life.I would love any help or advice in how to break the computer,school computer,bed,computer cycle. He just sits on his bed when we dont allow him pc time.He wont go out and play and spends very little time with the family as a family.On top of all this he has bad excema and when he gets stressed it flares up considerably (and due to his condition,if he doesnt get on his pc he gets stressed) I thank you in advance for any future help.

  • My son has been excluded every week for the past three weeks just because his autism causes him to react to situations aggressively towards staff and his surroundings. There are known triggers that upset my son and the school staff, particularly the SENCo and the teacher and the TA know about them, but I believe they fail to monitor my son, fail to prevent the trigger, and my husband and I increasingly believe, these people cause the trigger for my son to have meltdowns/breakdowns.
