Hi
I have a 14 year old son who has yet to be diagnosed, his psychologist is sure he has Aspergers and we are now on the ASD pathway.
He hasn't been to school for nearly 2 years and is home tutored, he was an A* pupil and on the gifted and talented register.
In the last month or two I have noticed uneplained marks and scratches on his body and this morning a really nasty soore on his leg. I think he may be self harming and I don't know what to do.
Say to him that you want to speak to the person who did it, and can you have their name (even if you know it is himself) and that might prompt him to admit it.
He needs to know that he has support however it happened.
