Louis' mum

Hey I was wondering about something.... Louis is VERY keen on an on-line computer game called World of Warcraft. Its a blessing and a curse because he has a kind of cyber life through this game and does communicate with others through it but on the negative side, does it stop him from trying to go out into the real word? Does anyone on here play on this game?

After much cajoling and persuasion Louis has agreed to let me contact the lady who runs the ASD group with a view to us both going along to the next meeting

Thanks for the replies everyone, Louis is on moclobemide which is an old drug for anxiety which works quite well to take the edge off his symptoms. I have been told he isn't depressed by the psychiatrist but I'm not convinced. Louis has always been treated in a mental heath context and did attend a social inclusion facility for a while but couldn't relate to the others and said they were 'mentalists'!! I have suggested he attends a group for people with ASD, which I could attend with him but he won't even consider it. I've tried to get one to one counselling with a woman who specialises in ASD and anxiety but it is out of area and I won't be able to get the funding I really don't know where to go next.

Hi all My son was recently diagnosed with HFA at the age of 21. He has had social anxiety since childhood and is now virtually agoraphobic and would never leave the house alone. His therapy has been mainly CBT which has been completely useless. He has steadily got worse and now spends most of his time in bed. I love him dearly but don't know how to help him and feel at my wits end , so much so that I have been offered CBT myself! He seems unconcerned by this situation but admitted to being 'unhappy'.I worry for his future, Does anyone have a similar experience?
