  1. We have finally got a statement for my 9 year old son who has high functioning autism. The statement includes the provision of a computer at school. The school have asked us to recommend what he should get and i don't really know where to start. Should it be a tablet or a laptop - my gut is a laptop so he can take it to and from school and has a proper keyboard etc. Also what software should we initially put on other than microsoft office? Any advice be really appreciated. Thanks
  2. Hi.....I'm new to this site so hope I'm doing this right! I have a 12 year old son recently diagnosed with High Functioning Autism Disorder & Dyspraxia. We've been receiving ongoing support from CAMHS & CAMHS LAAC however I don't feel that in the last year we've really moved any further forward. As each day passes life with my son is becoming more and more challenging. His obsession is the computer; he is totally addicted and I have lost total control. To start with I limited his time to two hours a day but gradually that increased and now he can spend 10-12 hours a day playing on Robloxs (I think that is how you spell it!!). If I ask him to finish what he is doing on the computer he refuses and will go in to complete meltdown. He's now skipping meals.....breakfast, lunch and dinner most days. He doesn't leave his bedroom so has no interaction with either the rest of my family or the outside world. He doesn't exercise, has no fresh air, doesn't shower, clean his teeth etc. We have become prisoners in our own home as he refuses to leave the house and we won't leave him. This week end we managed to limit his time to 4 hours, he went out to see a friend but when he got home he went in to total melt down, trashed his room, wrecked his computer, hit both myself (battered and bruised arms and legs) & my husband (black eye). The situation was so out of control we ended up at A&E as advised by our social worker....complete waste of time, ended up coming home at 12.45am Sunday morning. So my question is....how do I take back control of my son's addiction with a computer. Personally I would like for him not to have use of one at all; the games he plays seem to change his personality and cause him to be both verbally and physically abusive. I so desperately need to know what to do for the best; I know the computer is escapism however it is having such a massive, negative effect on us all as a family!
