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?

  • My son really struggled throughout year 11. First week of exams went well last week but today he walked out and refused to sit his English and geography exams saying they were too long. He said he can’t face sitting anymore. I really don’t know what to say or do
