I have a 17 year old son with adhd & ASD that went through autistic burnout 3 years ago. However he has some behaviours that we just do not know how to help.
number one, certain words he despises and will scream if he hears. To the point we have had to cut them from our own vocabulary. At the moment these words are kill, die & summer.
number two blue skies. He walks around with his head lowered during daylight to avoid seeing any blue sky. He is on high alert all day until it’s dusk.
number three screens. Since his breakdown he will not look at any screens. So no tv, no iPad not even digital clocks. Also no music incase he hears the bad words.
we have tried the go, no help. We tried CAMHS no help. He was even refused a paediatrition appointment.
so for the past 3 years we live day by day in a house where the curtains are never open, we watch tv or listen to music in different rooms, with no help from anywhere.
As you can imagine our life is pretty non existent and revolves around our son
Csn anyone offer any advise at all?
Sorry we really are out of wits end now
