Son is 16 diagnosed with autism and adhd ( medicated for this )
mental health not great after split with long term partner .
seems to be mixing with the wrong crowd
vaping on and off for a year now .
have just found out that he’s tried an illegal vape which a “ friend “ had which contained weed … twice .
always gives into peer pressure . Doesn’t wanna be different . Wants to fit in. Desperate to make friends ( doesn’t really have many )
should know right from wrong …
anyways- how do you apply a consequence for such things ??
equally- behaviour hasn’t been great for some time. Irritable, snappy , blames me and dad for everything. Has never reacted well to being told no or not being able to do something . Then is very verbally aggressive and controlling .
Has an I can do what I please attitude I’m 16 and earn my own money .
just appears very disrespectful and rude a lot of the time .
things like even if he calls down the stairs and I don’t hear or don’t reply quick enough “ fu@@ you then you *** “ etc
calls me all sorts !
feeling very depressed . We’ve always had a very close relationship but just lately he’s been hiding a lot ie the vapes , beers .
