Exams coming up, refusing to revise

My son has Aspergers and will be 15 soon.  He has started working towards GCSE's.  The problem is he just won't revise.  Then when it's time to sit an assessment or actual exam papers (he's sat two already) he panics and gets really upset that he's going to fail. So because of this he now has the thought that hes going to fail anyway so what's the point? Has anyone got any ideas how I can get him to first of all revise and secondly to teach him how to stop getting into a state?

  • hi, you don't say if you have spoken with yr son's school senco? Do they have a counselling service? Do you have a autism support service locally as they should be able to help, have you rang the CAMHS duty line and asked them for help or your GP for a home visit, as you will need to get documented to appeal to examing boards etc
