Hi any ideas how I can help support my 18 year lad? He has ASC and spends most of his time in his room. He does go to school but has no friends and doesnt talk to anyone at school. He has disengaged from his school work also. When he comes home he isolates himself.
Over the years we have tried different approaches. Certainly if he feels he is being pushed to do something that wont work. But we are in the situation now where life is calm because he is not having to interact with the outside world (apart from school days).
I would like to help him try and engage a little. We have suggested clubs etc but he is not really able to take part. He will come out to the cinema which is great.
He comes across as extremely shy. Dont think he is depressed.
