Serve anxiety, School refusal

NAS84722

Hi, my son suffers with anxiety and has school refusal. I find it hard to get him in most days. I would like some advice on how best to manage his anxiety. Can doctors help?.

  • Hi,

    That sounds a tough situation for him and for you.

    I would suggest talking to him first. Offer him to write how he's feeling down for you and for the school. The school should do their bit to help make him as comfortable as possible.

    Once you know what is making him anxious you can all work together and help him feel less anxious.

    School isn't a friendly place for people with autism unfortunately but hopefully you and the school can help him enjoy it a bit more.

    Wish you luck with this.
