New - Advice needed re 19yr old son, please

Sylvie

My 19year old is finishing his college course shortly. He says he doesn't want to do another course or get a job. He also has no intention of leaving home at any time. Given that he is classed as an adult in law, is there anything I can do or do we have to accept that he is about to turn into a hermit!

  • I have visions of a similar thing happening to my daughter one day.

    I can understand there is only so much education you can cope with and may need a break (I seem to keep going back for more!) and I can also see how stressful the thought of a full time job would be to someone on the spectrum.  

    Would he consider volunteering to do something?  Or would it be possible for him to consider a part time job with someone that already knows him?
