Hi
I am new to this site, I have a 14 year old son who has yet to be diagnosed but his psychologist is almost certain he has Aspergers.
He has not been to school for over 18 months, we had an LEA tutor for a while but he stopped seeing him and now my 24 year old daughter tutors with the help of his school.
In November he started to attend school just for the odd lesson her and there but at least it was a step forward, but his sister had Uni deadlines and the teacher that was helping at school was off sick and so he stopped going.
We are now into a new term at school and I can't even get him out of bed in a morning without literally dragging him. I keep him to a school day even though he is at home otherwise he would just stay in bed.
I don't know any other parent that is going through this and I am starting to feel that I really can't cope any longer, do I just leave him to get on with it or still keep pushing him even though we are both upset.
I would love it if there is someone that could help.
The school are very good and going at his pace and CAMHS are also very good.
He is taking fluoxetine which has helped with his OCD and mood.
Thanks
