Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post ... apologies if I'm doing it all wrong :-(
I'm so so worried about my son (11) ... he was diagnosed with Aspergers (probably when he was about 6) and discharged by CAMHS about 18 months ago who felt he had no mental health issues although I didn't agree with their assessment. He is reluctant to go out anywhere in case he meets anyone he knows and always wears a disguise (usually a hood up to hide his hair and sunglasses) ... he does like being out, just worries about it ... the only place where he feels totally at peace is by the water, clambering about in rocks, crawling in the sand and, of course paddling fully clothed :-).
Anyway, over the past few months he's developed an obsession with confessing and apologising for things ... even things that happened months/years ago. He will talk to me about it, check I'm not cross, check again then go through it all again, then come back to me to tell me he told his dad (or the other way round). He struggles getting to sleep because of it and has now decided he can't sleep alone (only five months ago we remodelled the upstairs of our house to make three bedrooms into four so that he and his brothers could each have their own space). He has a worry monster which worked for a while but he's now scared of it so we've had to put it away.
Any advice or words of wisdom really appreciated ... it's so awful seeing him so worried.
