Advice

Saintydad

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.

  • I ve been reading through the forum and it seems that everyone is being really supportive and friendly.

    Kind of need some advice.

    Does being diagnosed help? Does it define a person? Im going through the process at the moment and feeling kind of anxious about the impact that being analysed could have on me. I thought that I did things because thats what I wanted to do. If it turns out that it comes down to a aspergers, then usually I'd question my identity(which I already do)

    Im 23 and quite social, but there are alot of things that have popped up in my lifetime that dont quite fit to the 'normal' scale.

    I think my last question would probably be. Does it help, to tell friends, family and work collegues that you have it. Will they be able to understand you more or does it make them feel more uneasy?
